Cyan is an entrepreneur who sees her career as a way to pave new opportunities for the formerly invisible. She’s a freakin’ legend in the tech world, known for her prescient investments in a lotta today’s hot shots, like Uber and SpaceX. Now she’s an investor for Founders Fund, a big SF-based investing company. She’s a smart cookie, and a hot-shot to boot.
Cyan is also sexually fluid.
“When I look in the mirror, I don’t see a woman. I don’t see a man. I see myself. I see a genderless being,” she says.
We say ‘she’, but we could also say ‘he’, or ‘they’, or anything really. That’s because Cyan feels that gender is something we should be allowed to experiment with.
“People should feel free to play around with things with me. It’s delightful. I absolutely thoroughly enjoy being called just about anything when it comes to pronouns.”
She kept her sexual ambiguity under wraps for a long time, but now she is transparent about it, even in the workplace. Especially in the workplace, in fact. Because, being an entrepreneur, the future has so much potential, and Cyan believes it’s the perfect breeding ground to promote ideas of inclusivity.
“I hope that entrepreneurs out there start thinking about this and I want to see a whole new wave of stores and opportunities and experiences that celebrate diversity in that way. I’m looking forward to it.”
