April 25, 2001, on ArsDigita: From Start-Up to Bust-Up:
I think what might become one of the more interesting points from this lawsuit is how Graylock and General Atlantic's reputations come out of this. Their actions may very well serve to sour the attitutes of the multitude of engineers out there that actually start companies. Graylock and GA peeving a whole class of people that have brought them all this wealth can't be good for a long-term business perspective. When another engineer has an interesting idea for a startup and needs funding, he or she may think two, three, even five times before taking money from either of these firms. Then again, maybe that's just my naivete and a lot of wishful thinking. I wish Philip and Eve and Jin (and the rest of the crew) good luck!
