A private spreadsheet reportedly circulating among women in Silicon Valley has brought renewed attention to allegations of sexual misconduct in the technology and startup ecosystem. According to reports citing people familiar with the document, the list contains more than 100 names, including investors, entrepreneurs, executives and individuals associated with major technology and artificial intelligence companies. The allegations reportedly range from drugging and sexual assault to rape. The document is not publicly available, and its contents have not been independently verified.
The informal network, described as a “whisper network”, is reportedly used by women to privately share warnings because some fear professional retaliation, blacklisting or damage to their careers if they report alleged misconduct publicly. Some incidents have reportedly been associated with “hacker houses”, where startup founders, investors and technology workers live and socialise together. Reports also say additional women came forward after the existence of the spreadsheet became known. The developments have renewed discussion about workplace safety, accountability and the need for stronger institutional mechanisms to address sexual misconduct in the technology sector.
