he co-founder of a Silicon Valley investment firm said it is "not my job to make you all feel good" in a long email to staff and investors.
Jonathan Teo from Binary Capital was responding to negative press coverage about the firm following allegations of sexual harassment by his co-founder Justin Caldbeck.
He added that he was "tired and indignant", and raged against "whiners" who demanded his attention.
Mr Teo has already offered to resign.
He did so after Mr Caldbeck left the firm in June.
"I'm incredibly sorry," Mr Caldbeck tweeted when the news broke last month.
Mr Caldbeck's actions were one of several sexism scandals to rock Silicon Valley in recent months.
They include a damning report into the work culture inside ride-hailing firm Uber, and the resignation of venture capitalist Dave McClure, who admitted "inexcusable behaviour" towards "multiple women".
No allegations have been made against Jonathan Teo, who said he had offered to step down in order to "quell a news cycle".
Mr Teo also said he was "angry that women had felt hurt", but described a suggestion by one of the firm's portfolio companies that the next partner should be a woman as "moronic".
