Boulder VC firm Foundry to shutter after 18 years, 200 investments

Weird article. The firm is not "shuttering" it's just publicly announcing that it's not planning to raise another fund.
For people who don't know, venture "firms" are a collection of funds, with different lifetimes, LPs, terms, etc. Sometimes there is one "management company" at the heart, but not always. It's a different structure than a normal corporation.
Each fund eventually reaches its EOL and follows a predefined protocol for what to do with the remaining assets.
It's fine to post archive links in the comments, but it's important that the original link be at the top level (unless it no longer exists on the web).
("Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)
(Perhaps the "right" way to do it for HN would be to post the original url even if its paywalled, and add a comment with an archive/paywall-busting link as well?)
Or did I miss something you meant?
In your roadmap for "more formal support", perhaps a way to pin the original submitters first comment to the top might be worth consideration? So that a comment providing an archive or non-paywalled link doesn't end up buried by the top comments in the following discussion? That could also help out with the occasions when "editorialising" the title is a thing the submitter would otherwise be tempted to do?
And I've had good interactions with Seth Levine, who is quoted in the article a few times, as well.

This thread should have been merged into previous one and karma points should have been removed from archive link submitter.
Also a duplicate link checker upon replacing links would have caught duplicated submission. There is lot of room for improvement here.
That would be fine with me. I do think that sometimes it's weird that something will hit the front page in the 2nd or 10th time it has been submitted. Good content matters but luck does too.
Finally, I submitted the archive link not really thinking about duplicates, and because I thought the original would be paywalled.
Wishing them all the best of luck!
