The "bro culture" locks out anyone who isn't comfortable with working in that kind of environment, which probably includes most white guys. My guess is that it also holds these companies back. For example, I couldn't imagine an ethnically diverse company like Google (with an HR department and lawyers who worry about harassment issues) wanting to acquire a company that was known for its bro culture; it's just asking for trouble.
Does anyone know if any bro-oriented startups have actually become successful, i.e., grown beyond a handful of employees? Are they a mainstream phenomenon or a fringe phenomenon? Just reading stories like this from the outside, it's hard to tell.
