Hi, founder of ClusterHQ here. I was just reminiscing over the demise of my company, and saw this comment had not been replied to.

I can categorically state that there was no pressure to install back-doors or any Lavabit-style problems.

As for your other comment, as a business you don't get to choose when you run out of money. I believe there was a plan to secure more money, and when that plan failed the employees were told immediately. The timing is irrelevant.

Thank you for the comment.

I appreciate as a business you don't have complete control of your destiny. There is a fine line between keeping employees informed and scaring them witless and I appreciate you were doing the right thing for your company. I or anyone else would likely have done the same in your situation.
