Have you seen or experienced questionable board or investor behavior during your search or CEO tenure?

As many of you know, I’ve been vocal about the governance issues in search funds — especially around terminations with no employment agreements, sudden equity clawbacks, and boardroom manipulation.
I'm working with a coalition of researchers, searchers, and journalists to shed light on these practices — and we need more first-hand stories or tips before this story really gives live.
If you’ve been terminated, threatened, manipulated, or know of someone who was — anonymously or otherwise — please message me directly or use this anonymous tip form redacted
The goal is simple: to protect future entrepreneurs from getting blindsided.
We already have 100+ investor ratings, 20+ accounts from searchers, and we’re preparing to publish findings — with media, legal, and public impact.
Thank you in advance to those willing to help change this industry for the better.
