They would probably need to get a new CEO...

Sounds like a bet a later CEO will need to check.

It's most likely due to the new CEO.

They just recently replaced their CEO.

Not too surprised, there was a CEO handoff (news this past Wed, it's Friday..), so time for "new" CEO to clean house, and I guess this is what he found.Ref: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37410812

Maybe because the CEO is now a YC exec

Wasn't that like over 5 years ago under a different CEO?

benwerd • Jul 24, 2023 • View on HN

Is there one to replace its CEO?

randyrand • Jul 31, 2023 • View on HN

what if the CEO is a new hire? because the previous one was put in jail?
