Ex-Google, Ex-IBM, Ex-Uber - fired from all 3?
Maybe decide to join force and its likely to make some sense considering they already have solid idea and it doesnt necessary mean fired there are many reasons they might want to make their own organization
Having a term "Ex" doesn't means they are all fired, maybe some just wants to have a new opportunity to build with their experience in those big companies they have worked in the past.
Agree, why the statement above was so judgmental without any clarification and proves. Perhaps there is something happened that we are not supposed to interfere. Each things has concrete reasons why it happened. Hooe team could address this questions for the benefit of the doubt.
