What do you say to all of the folks already hating on the show, mostly for what they deem a non-realistic depiction of Silicon Valley?
"Relax! It’s going to be hilarious. I don’t think there is such a thing as a realistic depiction. I think everyone has their own reality. You’re going to see mine. I care about the tech community and do feel a sense of responsibility to women. And we can’t aspire to do things we don’t see. America doesn’t understand someone who is 'iterating and then pivoted to build a collaborative consumption social platform through equity-based crowdfunding.' But we make it digestible. The show is about those who don’t have exposure to the tech world. I certainly didn’t. Being from the Midwest, culturally we’re raised differently and driven towards stability. We’re told you need to work for a big company, you’ll probably be unhappy, you should wait in line, and maybe in five years you can get promoted if Steve retires. No one is telling us that entrepreneurship and startups are viable career options. I did the show for these people."
