Founders

I just saw my brother for the first time since he stepped down from the tech company he founded 10 years ago.

25% of his life spent, $175M raised, and now…no plan.

His stress is replaced by genuine laughter, but the white space must be unsettling.

Now to convince him to build on Farcaster…

What business is he in that requires $175M of capital?

International tech recruiting, they raised a Series E from SoftBank. 

Counting earlier rounds I guess it’s actually closer to $400M.

I had no idea!. I know Angela well from my time working across Africa. Awesome company

Some combination of the maturity level of the company (he’s more of a zero-one founder), market softening for tech recruitment (recovering a bit now), and board fatigue.
