- kleiba 6mo agoNot enough information here to make informed comments.
- yowlingcat 6mo agoAgreed. I will say that poking around a bit more on that site it looks like a temporary restraining order involving the same parties was granted, so perhaps there's some more history to this dispute than just what is visible on said link.
- IAmBroom 6mo agoIf your workplace takes legal action against you, there is more history.
- jffry 6mo ago"Workplace violence restraining orders" in California appear to be a type of restraining order that can be filed by an employer on behalf of an employee, to protect said employee from a third party https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/WV-restraining-order https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/WV-restraining-order
- ruined 6mo agoany chance you've got a link with, like, stuff in it?
- justonceokay 6mo agoI’ve been on this earth for a few days. Something tells me there is probably a better word than “founder” that could be used to describe this guy if legal action is being taken against him
- welcome_dragon 6mo agoThe only useful bit I can get from that incredibly ugly/spammy site is that the restraining order referenced "workplace violence"
- DannyBee 6mo agoTo access the actual docs, go here: https://web.sanmateocourt.org/midx/ https://web.sanmateocourt.org/midx/ Search for 26-CIV-00518 Deep link to the petition/complaint PDF: https://tinyurl.com/32xj5djy https://tinyurl.com/32xj5djy (The details are the last page) The respondent did not show up to the hearing. They also did not show up to the gun relinquishment hearing, where it was noted they have approached another VC firm with a firearm before being apprehended by the police. The san mateo prosecutor's office was notified of non-compliance. This seems unlikely to have any sort of happy ending.
- jacquesm 6mo agoThanks, that's a much better link. That original submitted link is garbage.
- aduwah 6mo agoCan't wait for his LinkedIn post.
- IAmBroom 6mo ago"Approached with a firearm" is wildly different from "tried to pitch". This is a ridiculously slanted headline.
- elonmm 6mo agoIt seems like some people are trying to portray him as something he’s not. He has been focused on building startups since arriving in Silicon Valley and has created multiple products over the years. That track record speaks more clearly than speculative claims.
- dang 6mo ago(Submitted title was "A Founder Tried to Pitch — and Got a Restraining Orde" - we've changed it since)
- elonmm 6mo agoThe claim that he approached another VC firm is incorrect. He was invited to the location via text message, where the founder encouraged him to apply and be accepted into their accelerator program. Upon arrival, the situation became uncomfortable, with individuals attempting to intimidate and surround him. There is a growing concern among founders about how ideas are handled in these environments, and situations like this only reinforce those concerns. It’s important not to misrepresent what actually happened.
- CodingJeebus 6mo agoLooks like this guy tried to brandish a firearm while attempting to meet with the plaintiff, a restraining order seems very reasonable given the circumstances.
- IAmBroom 6mo agoInteresting that OP's only other submission is identical, with a post assuring us "this is a truth". Dulat, is that you?

- elonmm 6mo agoOfficer Karp sfpd who got his cellphone and asked for a password, he's been working so hard, it's interesting what motivated him to work so hard
- elonmm 6mo agoFrom what I understand, no firearm was involved in this situation. When the individual arrived, he asked to pitch, and shortly after, staff/security asked him to leave. The founder shared his story and recorded video at the time. This founder has also built a 3D printer and developed several other projects. There may be additional context from law enforcement as well, but it’s important to rely on verified information rather than assumptions.
