Gergely Orosz on Founder

Talk about a board turning a company into nothing. Bench raised a $60M Series C in 2021 - then board pushed out the founder CEO, to bring in a professional CEO. The company is shutting down 3 years later. Not even a fire sale. Customers, employees, investors left with nothing.
