Dark Team Shrinks to One
- pbiggar 6y agoThanks for posting (don't love the title though ;)) Startups are hard, and we were trying to grow something that hadn't gotten to product market fit yet. I'm working on getting to PMF, and thinking hard about what's needed to do that, while making sure Dark works in the long term.
- ash 6y agoSorry about the title! It was my (probably poor) attempt at putting an exciting spin on the news. In the sense of "all publicity is good publicity". Dark is a very cool project. Every time I wait for a long CircleCI job to complete, I wish our programming environment was like Dark. Good luck with it!
- pbiggar 6y agoNo worries, and thanks!
- zubairq 6y agoDo the team members being let go get to retain their stock options?
- pbiggar 6y agoYes, we are extending the option exercise windows for 10 years. For folks who haven't hit their 1-yr cliffs, we waived the cliffs and so they vested for the time they were at Dark.
- zubairq 6y agoOk great, so if dark is successful in the next ten years with a different team then the original team still will do well financially. Kudos to you for that Paul!
