@polotek Maybe it’s the opposite of VC led? OP glossed over that the VC money didn’t show up for about two years. And even when it did a lot of it got spent hiring people straight from meta. We held the majority of the board seats (@anildash was there). Not a lotta twirling of mustaches from my recollection.
@JasonPunyon@polotek the other large issue here is "VC" as the signifier when the company sold to an owner years ago? There are no VCs running Stack Overflow at present.
@polotek “community-driven” seems like a better description of SO. The content, content curation, and content refinement was done by the community. Moderation was done by moderators “elected” by company personnel.
I just realized I’m talking about SO in the past tense…
