Good observations, a bit of a stretch,

regarding scandal and not scandal, real life doesnt follow rigid ideas of “the power dynamics are too extreme for this relationship to exist”

that’s just tabloid drama

people can be objective mature partners that met on the job where one was an executive and the other doing something menial

That wasn't the "scandal" I had in mind. I was wondering "How in the heck did one of three male co-founders ask her for a date, her say yes and this not turn into three male co-founders fighting over who gets the girl instead of focusing on developing the business?"

Gotcha, its a timeless tale, Paul Graham is king and finds the eunuch to act as a proverbial chastity belt to while watching over the lady

whether thats what happened or not, it is disarming to say the least and many would be more comfortable with the same situation given the option
