A comment on Tuesday was my last day as CEO of CircleUp. Parent comment
Even without outing the investors, many founders are currently doing the necessary research to identify the investor and will blacklist him.
I think we should keep in mind that:
1) The accusations are currently unsubstantiated
2) The reputational damage to the investor is already significant and largely irreversable
3) Outing the investor here will significantly increase the reputational damage to the investor
Given the above, I really don't see how it's fair to out the investor before substantiating the accusations or giving the investor time to respond.
