Define investment in this case. He's the cofounder of HashiCorp. I guess you could refer to his equity as an investment here, but I don't really think it tracks the same in this context.

He may have a vested interest, but he did cofound HashiCorp as an engineer that actually developed the products, so I find his insight at least somewhat valuable.

He no longer has equity. Hashicorp was purchased by IBM in a cash deal.

Well did he become a billionaire from hashicorp alone or did he invest e.g. millions in stocks (like perhaps ai stocks) to become a billionaire
