Ask HN: What do you do when your board member is unethical?
After October 7th I was shocked and disappointed to find that my lead investor is on Twitter openly advocating a genocide of Palestinians, casting doubt on the number of Palestinian civilians killed and generally attacking and gaslighting everyone who's not enthusiastically looking to destroy Gaza and the West Bank.
I'm horrified, I'm worried that they're going to cause massive damage to the brand of my company and I feel terrible that the company I built is now part of a message I find truly vile.
As a founder what can I do? Most of the VC industry seems to be on the wrong side of this issue so it feels like speaking up will lead to a blacklisting (c.f. what happened to Paul Graham when he simply posted the number of dead civilians on both sides).
