Deep Prasad, a Canadian entrepreneur, faces turmoil as he alleges he was shot at outside his hotel in San Francisco, navigating startup pressures, including venture culture and public scrutiny. Prasad's startup GenMat claims to innovate in quantum computing, but the incident he reported raises questions about his claims, as security footage suggests the sounds he attributed to gunfire may have been firecrackers instead. This situation reflects the heightened anxieties and dramatic narratives often present in the life of a startup founder, facing the weight of expectations and realities in a polarized atmosphere.
"They chased me to my hotel and shot the second time when I ran inside and got one of the staff to come out," the founder wrote, tagging tech bigwig Garry Tan.
Some time later, Prasad said he saw the same car pull around to the front of the hotel, when he heard a 'loud bang,' which a hotel worker said was gunfire.
