  Yesterday I asked where the outrage was over alleged predatory behavior by Justin Caldbeck of Binary Capital, as first reported by the Information. Today the outrage is mounting, including from many of Caldbeck’s male peers in the Venture industry.

  The Information has a story today about Justin Caldbeck, of Binary Capital that should have been greeted with far more outrage than it has been. Frankly, the story should have been written with more outrage than it was. The headline -- “Silicon Valley Women Tell of VC’s Unwanted Advances” -- is almost Onion-like in it’s “yeah, well, duh” quality. It’s only […]
