This is such a clear hit piece. HelloAlfred isn't some high tech R&D startup that you can just extract value by knowing information. No investor (esp. one who has built companies before) tries to build a new company just because they can't acquire enough. There is always a price to get it done and that is infinitely cheaper than investing your own time. The likely answer is that the company was underperforming and not executing the way Neumann wanted.
