(The details are the last page)

The respondent did not show up to the hearing. They also did not show up to the gun relinquishment hearing, where it was noted they have approached another VC firm with a firearm before being apprehended by the police. The san mateo prosecutor's office was notified of non-compliance.

This seems unlikely to have any sort of happy ending.

"Approached with a firearm" is wildly different from "tried to pitch". This is a ridiculously slanted headline.

(Submitted title was "A Founder Tried to Pitch — and Got a Restraining Orde" - we've changed it since)

It seems like some people are trying to portray him as something he’s not.

He has been focused on building startups since arriving in Silicon Valley and has created multiple products over the years. That track record speaks more clearly than speculative claims.

Thanks, that's a much better link. That original submitted link is garbage.

[elonmm]

The claim that he approached another VC firm is incorrect.

He was invited to the location via text message, where the founder encouraged him to apply and be accepted into their accelerator program. Upon arrival, the situation became uncomfortable, with individuals attempting to intimidate and surround him.

There is a growing concern among founders about how ideas are handled in these environments, and situations like this only reinforce those concerns.

It’s important not to misrepresent what actually happened.

[DannyBee]

I'm not trying to misrepresent anything, just going by what the documents say.

I don't know what happened but the last paragraph of the complaint says he approached another firm, became aggressive, and pulled out a firearm.

There isn't a transcript of the hearing itself or other affidavits that give a different pov like you are giving.

He also did not show up to the hearing or send a lawyer to present an alternative view or set of evidence.

At that point it becomes an accepted set of uncontested facts (legally, i mean)

inshallah god will see the truth happened
