Google, Claine Parkins and Greenokes have refused to comment. General Catalist, Varun Mohan and Douglas Chen did not respond to any request for the comment.

Nevertheless, most investors aimed to win a more significant win from the company.

In February, TechCrunch said that Clainer Parkins was in the discussion to lead a new financing, to determine the price of the startup, which was then known as Codium 85 2.85 billionThe This agreement did not happen, according to a person who is familiar with the subject, because Windsaroff agreed to buy instead of OpenAI is $ 3 billionThe

But what is spreading the valley is: Although Google’s contract was good for the co-founder and VCS, it did not benefit a large portion of the employees of Windsorf, especially after they expect to pay from the OpenAI sale.

In a general acquisition, staff got money for their owned shares and often stayed Accelerate their vesting schedulesThe However, Windsarf employees who had been appointed in the last one year did not pay from the agreement, these people said.

Google Deal was especially unsetling that was not appointed by the search giant to the 200 Windsarf employees.

Instead of spreading each of Google’s payments to their own pocket, investors decided to leave the company with more than $ 100 million capital.

However, doing this would immediately become problematic, leaving less cash to manage the agency and with the founders and the original individuals – no investor is preparing for a new rise in an investor. The rest of the leadership probably had to be stopped after distributing such cash, a man said. Meanwhile, another person has claimed that there is considerable capital to pay and continue to pay the employees of the organization.

This difference of opinion is just a part of the contract because the contract is so controversial.
