I'm curious about the following two aspects: 1) were changes in DigitalOcean's executive management (in particular, their CEO replacement) prompted by founders' desire to change their focus / reduce their workload / whatever or pushed by some of DO's investors; 2) why DigitalOcean is an LLC (to the best of my knowledge, an absolute majority of VCs insist on their potential portfolio companies being a C Corporation (mostly, a Delaware C-Corp). Thoughts?

DigitalOcean was actually a C Corp, they switched to a LLC down the road.

  Why would they do that? What was their investors' reaction?
