A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The venture capitalists can if they have a majority of the shares. Since Reddit raised $1.3B, I wouldn't be surprised if the VCs own more than 50%. The only exception would be if those shares by the VCs are non voting, but I can't see a VC buying non voting shares.
