Wow. Screw non-profit, we want to get rich.

Sorry guys, but before you were probably able to get talent which is not (primarily) motivated by money. Now you are just another AI startup. If the cap would be 2x, it could still make sense. But 100x times? That's laughable! And the split board, made up of friends and closely connected people smells like "greenwashing" as well. Don't get me wrong, it's totally ok to be an AI startup. You just shouldn't pretend to be a non-profit then...

I agree, this sounds disappointing to me as well. My issue is how they're positioning themselves, which is basically a hyper-growth startup where you can get rich (but only 100x richer, because we're not greedy like other startups) but we're also a non-profit here to benefit humanity so don't tax us like those evil corporations. What really bothers me though is I don't know if they honestly believe what they're saying or if it's just a marketing ploy, because honestly it's so much worse if they're deluding themselves.
