@0xthade @PrimapesHL Real life safety threats are serious issues, do not minimize as "internet trolls". Macro conditions always fluctuate, but outstanding founders can navigate. Misogyny and hate killed a billion dollar protocol, and people stood and watched.

Thank you, day 1 investor. C u onchain.

These commonly patterned and prevalent challenges of a female founder were met with a complete lack of support from internal and external stakeholders.

Furthermore, the business environment has become untenable due to clients failing to honor contractual payment obligations.
