Valar Atomics CEO Isaiah Taylor published a post detailing a pro rata rights dispute with Day One Ventures: Day One asked for its pro rata to be honored, but Valar Ventures won a majority vote to override it.
Commenters including chandr3w argued that both asking for pro rata and voting it down were legitimate, but suing because you lost a vote crosses a line. Taylor framed the post as part of his company's culture of transparency—admitting mistakes and learnings publicly.
