I think it's security stuff decided to scam, by youself a16z team don't know what happened, but they have cameras


yes looks like security decided to scam, but the actual stuff don't know


An you posted it......


Officer Karp sfpd who got his cellphone and asked for a password, he's been working so hard, it's interesting what motivated him to work so hard


The location in question has full camera surveillance, which clearly shows what actually happened. There was no firearm involved.


yes a16z have a camera


It seems like some people are trying to portray him as something he’s not.

He has been focused on building startups since arriving in Silicon Valley and has created multiple products over the years. That track record speaks more clearly than speculative claims.


The claim that he approached another VC firm is incorrect.

He was invited to the location via text message, where the founder encouraged him to apply and be accepted into their accelerator program. Upon arrival, the situation became uncomfortable, with individuals attempting to intimidate and surround him.

There is a growing concern among founders about how ideas are handled in these environments, and situations like this only reinforce those concerns.

It’s important not to misrepresent what actually happened.


I'm not trying to misrepresent anything, just going by what the documents say.

I don't know what happened but the last paragraph of the complaint says he approached another firm, became aggressive, and pulled out a firearm.

There isn't a transcript of the hearing itself or other affidavits that give a different pov like you are giving.

He also did not show up to the hearing or send a lawyer to present an alternative view or set of evidence.

At that point it becomes an accepted set of uncontested facts (legally, i mean)


inshallah god will see the truth happened


From what I understand, no firearm was involved in this situation. When the individual arrived, he asked to pitch, and shortly after, staff/security asked him to leave.

The founder shared his story and recorded video at the time. This founder has also built a 3D printer and developed several other projects.

There may be additional context from law enforcement as well, but it’s important to rely on verified information rather than assumptions.


Yes this is a truth
