Ellen Pao, Investment Partner at KPCB

Today, everyone in Silicon Valley is once again going to be talking about Ellen Pao, the partner who dropped bombshell sexual discrimination allegations against her employer, famed venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.

Today is the deadline for Kleiner's lawyers to respond to Pao's lawsuit.

This case is about to get even messier, in other words.

It's also provoked a much larger discussion about whether Silicon Valley is a meritocracy—or just an old-fashioned boy's club driven by personal connections.

Pao is still coming to work every day—with many of the people we've included in our list. Some are named in Pao's lawsuit. Some aren't. But all have been swept up by the lawsuit's broader impact.
