A look at an “etiquette camp” in San Francisco that teaches young founders how to dress, act, and talk, amid shifting expectations as the industry gains power
Not that I like Silicon Valley bros, but clinging to dated stereotypes in a workshop and not trying to nudge folks to more collaborative behaviours overall is a fail in my book. @drsurekhadavies : Will they learn that their unearned wealth and disconnection from normal people make them far more vulgar than they could possibly compensate for with the trappings of the nouveau riche? “just be a person” - HA! as opposed to.... a sociopath? @hypervisible.blacksky.app : The workshop began by tackling less fraught issues: How founders look and smell. Each attendee received a gift bag containing a comb, 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, mouth wash, a lint roller and a discount card to Wilkes Bashford, a local high-end clothing boutique.
