Hardly, I'm a CEO.

Is 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?

Check the bio.

Looks like an interesting idea.

Still none the wiser.

Haha, 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.

Of a company with how many employees?

Seven 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.
