Ask HN: Investor went dark after getting startup financial information

Get a lawyer and talk to them. However, I think the main thing is to work on their reputation. If this VC gets their name tarnished, less people are going to work with them. I know if I was looking for a VC and I knew who this person was, I would not work with them ever.

Ha! We are a startup from a developing country and our budget of $10 per day of facebook ads is killing us.

It is entirely possible that an attorney would take the case on contingency if it's strong.

Then it all becomes a shit show. Not to mention that we get on the blacklist for every VC they talk to.

We just want to get on with our startup and we have tons of work left to scale up.
