They may say "well played" in so many words, in public. Privately? They may be marshaling their bottomless war chest to unmake you.
- robocat 7y agoHe openly states he has no trouble with interest from investors: https://www.toptal.com/investors https://www.toptal.com/investors And I can't see why his existing investors wouldn't be interested - although they would perhaps take more care with the terms. His ethics don't seem to be weird, compared against stories about some other founders. I can't see why you make predictions about how he should act or how VCs would act (what's your expertise?)
