Pros

Lots to learn about mistakes made at a failing startup. Exposure to serve one of the largest systematic hedge funds in the world.

Cons

Calling Crux the Theranos of Fintech implies that they've succeeded in "making it big", which gives the company way too much credit. The company only has one signed customer. Management is too focused with themselves and cannot execute. As mentioned in a previous post, the CTO's approach to development is having different teams build the same feature without telling either team. The result of this is that nothing was delivered and a lot of trust was lost within between engineering and leadership. Leadership lacks accountability - a wonderful example is that there is still no action taken from Crux's response to negative reviews in October. The company's inability to deliver new features and sign new customers is starting to take a huge hit on the company. Our investors are losing trust in us.

Pros

In my opinion, CEO Will Freiberg failed both employees and shareholders. The final insult was being asked to sign a consent approving a merger after learning that our equity would receive no merger consideration, while the transaction documents disclosed a multi-million-dollar management incentive pool for certain executives. It felt like the ultimate rug pull. The employees deserved better.

Cons

There is no company anymore, and equity holders - employees who built the company - lost it all. Very sad.
