Ellen Pao will appeal the outcome of her high-stakes gender bias trial against Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers, a Reddit spokesperson confirmed.
The move comes months after a San Francisco Superior Court struck down all of her claims that the venture capital powerhouse discriminated against her because of her gender then retaliated after she spoke out when she was a junior partner.
Kleiner Perkins previously said it would waive the nearly $1 million Pao owes the firm in legal fees if she gave up her right to appeal.
In a statement to Mashable, the firm tried to deflect more lawsuits.
"A 12-member jury found decisively in favor of KPCB on all four claims. We remain committed to gender diversity in the workplace and believe that women in technology would be best served by focusing on the issue outside of continued litigation."
Pao's four-week trial earlier this year sparked a far-reaching conversation about gender inequity in the tech industry, where women in tech and leadership positions are scarce. The problem is especially true of venture capital sector, which has a reputation as an insular boys club.
Pao, now the interim CEO of Reddit, has since enacted changes in the internet forum company's workplace policies aimed at preventing the same kinds of subtle discrimination that she claims to have faced at Kleiner Perkins. She's also taken steps to crack down on the non-consensual sexual photos for which the "front page of the Internet" had become somewhat notorious.
Speaking at Recode's Code Conference last week, Pao said she had no regrets about entering into the years-long legal battle.
