I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.
Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.
I don’t have the patience to switch to alternatives until they make a change that actually affects the usability of the tool.
This is absolutely a red flag though.
Ima go look for alternatives now, private equity is a disaster
