Controversies
One of AngelHack's co-founders, Greg Gopman, was sued in 2014 by a fellow AngelHack co-founder for allegedly using the company's finances for "elaborate vacations" in Thailand and Colombia. After leaving AngelHack, Gopman has since garnered controversy for referring to homeless people in San Francisco as "hyenas."
