Nobody who writes a comment like that wants to know why they’re wrong. “Money people bad” is their mantra. You’ll never change it, they’ve swallowed too much propaganda.
- leashless 2y agoHardly, I'm a CEO.
- jaysonelliot 2y agoOf a company with how many employees?
- leashless 2y agoSeven years in business. Number of staff varies with the environment but we've had as many as 40 on all hands, mostly part-timers with specialised skills. It's not a very ordinary company. Too many lawyers.
- n2d4 2y agoIs that supposed to mean something? Half of Hacker News is a startup CEO. By your own logic, you better pay yourself a $0 salary, $0 on secondaries, and invested all your personal savings into the project, because otherwise clearly you don't believe in your own company. Right? And I hope that is also true about every one of your employees?
- leashless 2y agoCheck the bio.
- adwn 2y ago> Check the bio. > Mattereum Still none the wiser.
- mattmaroon 2y agoLooks like an interesting idea.
- mattmaroon 2y agoHaha, yeah I’m still a CEO of a YC-backed company too. I wouldn’t use it as evidence of anything except that I’m capable of having a company not go bankrupt for 17 years. (Man typing that makes me feel old.) CEOs of tech companies fall for the anti-capitalist propaganda as much as anyone, in fact maybe more. There’s always been a far-left political lean to tech. Which hey, whatever floats your boat.
