      A 26 year old running a start up. This isn’t Tim Cook or Elon Musk.

      I get the CEO hate, but I hope you honestly see how this is different.

      It’s easy to make a low-effort joke-comment like this, and obviously Fortune 500 CEOs and billionaires aren’t doing any good for the world, but this was a young woman who was pursuing her passion to try to make the world a better place.

      The entire company is less than 50 people, and they seem to be trying to do good things.

      I think we should try to be more context aware. “CEO BAD” is an easy philosophy to espouse, but it doesn’t really encompass the nuances of reality.
