It's unfortunate that their reputation took such a massive hit with the public profile debacle. The folks I talked to / worked with at Triplebyte were all great people with their hearts in the right place. It's just an incredibly tough market to be in.

I think the problem was that what they were trying to do couldn't scale. As I said I interviewed in the early stages with Ammon and it was a great experience. He knew what he was asking and he knew how to evaluate your skills. But how can you have a hundred Ammons interviewing and assessing people? It just doesn't scale.
Interviewers actually did scale reasonably well, which is part of why Karat (which stayed focused on that part) was in a position to buy our stuff to begin with.

What didn't scale was the ability to get high-quality candidates in the door in the first place.
