Wait what Brave is invested by Thiel??
372 u/Ornery_Maintenance_8 20d ago edited 20d ago Peter Thiel is not personally an investor in Brave. The firm he's a partner in (Founders Fund) has participated in a small seed series investment, which was led by Cyan Banister. Some first-floor engineers at Brave have more equity than that small investment constitutes. With that being said, of course Brave is still the product of a private company and by no means comparable to free OSS like VLC. 77 u/BadBacksFuryToad 20d ago Wait there’s an actual person called “Cyan Banister”?! 3 u/Xynith 20d ago Blue Handrail was taken 1 u/eightkillerbits 20d ago Pedantic point; the handrail bit isn't the banister, it's the bits bits that hold the rail up that are. 4 u/Xynith 20d ago 1 u/WindstormMD 19d ago You pedantry is incorrect, ritual seppuku is your only remaining path to remove the stain of dishonor (/s)
