Never been more proud of anyone.
"When Your Company Tries to Cancel You"
Fourteen months ago, I was Carta's CTO.
Today, I wrote about the lawsuit I filed against the company — which became public on Friday — after being fired and sued for whistleblowing to the board in October 2022.

Apropos of nothing, this feels like a good time to remind people that Paul Weiss was the law firm @cartainc hired to conduct its “board investigation” 🙃

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, JD Vance refused to admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Tim Walz is holding him accountable for that failure. Retweet so all Americans see this.
Guess it’s not just people Carta tries to vindictively cancel…

Airline installs chatbot. Customer gets bad information from it. Customer asks for refund. Airline says "the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions" (!). Court says no. (Whew.) Airline makes refund and turns off chatbot. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/…

Carta Conclusions launched with an interest form or an email directly to CEO. Probably the last person a company wants to share those details with right now.

The Carta lawsuit is absolutely wild. Carta functioned as a broker/dealer/market-maker for stock in illiquid startups. Their CTO raised concerns about conflicts of interest. Rather than listen, management fired and actively harassed and intimidated him.

"The best designers and the best programmers aren’t the ones with the best skills, or the nimblest fingers, or the ones who can rock and roll with photoshop or vim, they are the ones that can determine what just doesn’t matter. That’s where the real gains are made."
