I don't know why she changed the founder's name, it's pretty easy to figure out when there are only two founders.[1] It looks like Umang Dua, HBS '13[2]. He's on Twitter as @umangdua if anyone would like to ask him about this incident.

Honestly, I thought it took a lot of gall to even name the startup by name. There's always a fear of retribution even minor.


Naming the startup gave this article extra teeth for me.


I had assumed the name of the company was fake until I read the line at the end about them changing their name and getting a former Amazon CFO.


Less fear of being blackballed when you're an industry outsider.


I admire gall.

so that's the face of this wonderful humane and honest company.
