Not a founder but I do want to share some information to act as context for the other responses.

I use modafinil quite regularly.

It is very easy to get.

No one that i don't do drugs with recreationally knows that I use it. If it came up in a discussion with people I know professionally and I needed to contribute an opinion, it'd be slightly negative and dismissive of the idea.
