	How do you know the founder is an immigrant? Edit: Founder is from South Africa, didn't see that in my initial search.

I’m speculating that they looked at the name and made that assumption, which would be all kinds of problematic on its own.

I'm guessing the same. The co-founder/CEO went to Upper Iowa University. Could still be an immigrant, but seems unlikely.

Or you could, you know, Google the person, rather than making assumptions based on their name.

Which person are you referring to as an immigrant? I haven't found anything suggesting Pierre is an immigrant yet.

Pierre. That's because you didn't look hard enough, I guess?

You're right, first several articles on DDG didn't mention he is from South Africa.
