I don't know Ammon, but I don't think he's chasing "big money".

The best founders I know, when they make mistakes like this, aren't doing it for the money. They're doing it because they are trying to create the world they want to see exist, and that blinds them a bit. In this case, I genuinely believe Triplebyte just wanted to have a bigger impact on the hiring world, and try to fix it for engineers. Did they fuck up badly? Oh yeah. But I don't think it was for "money".

Triplebyte has 33 employees. They don't have VPs getting "fat bonuses". They don't have "golden parachutes". Look at their about page (https://triplebyte.com/about), it's all engineers and designers and CSMs. They're just a group of people doing their best to try to fix something we all hate (technical interviewing/hiring).

I interviewed with Ammon when the founders were running interviews themselves, and after a not-great interview he still stuck around with a junior to just talk tech for a good while. He left a really positive impression on me.

I see them as mission driven, this was a bad step but I trust that they're still focused on trying to fix a broken hiring system.

Triplebyte wants to go toe to toe with LinkedIn profiles and take the gatekeeper throne from it. Once it has the throne it can do anything, forget about fixing the world.
