Ego Co-founder's Departure Sparks Controversy Amid Partner's Recovery

Ego Co-founder's Departure Sparks Controversy Amid Partner's Recovery

Two friends started a company.

One was badly hurt in an attack.

Months later, the other friend, Peggy, left the company to start her own.

She said they had different ideas about the future.

This caused a lot of online criticism, with people saying she abandoned her partner, Vishnu, when he was vulnerable.

He suffered a traumatic brain injury, vision and hearing loss in the attack.

The situation triggered an online debate about loyalty and business ethics.

Y Combinator's CEO defended Wang, but Hari signed a non-disparagement clause when she departed.
