Area Founder Begins Every Email With "Hope All Is Well" Despite Mounting Evidence to Contrary
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Local startup founder Marcus Chen has reportedly begun opening all business correspondence with the phrase "Hope all is well" this week, a linguistic choice that colleagues describe as "increasingly concerning" given his company's current financial situation and the fact that his co-founder quit via text message yesterday.
The greeting first appeared Monday in an email to investors requesting a six-month extension on their Series A deadline. "Hope all is well! Trust everyone had a great weekend," Chen wrote, before launching into a 847-word explanation of why their burn rate had tripled and their lead developer had been poached by a dog-walking app.
