Former technology venture capitalist Ellen Pao's sexual discrimination lawsuit defeat against her former employer, venture capital powerhouse Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers (KPCB) has sent shock waves through Silicon Valley.
According to Mashable, the decision came as a blow to many following the trail.
After a four-week trial, the jury found that KPCB did not discriminate against Pao who is now interim CEO of Reddit.
Pao's lawyer, Alan Exelrod, had argued Kleiner was a "boys' club" whose ingrained culture discriminated against a talented woman.
It was also found that she was not fired in retaliation for suing the firm.
