Season 2
In the immediate aftermath of their TechCrunch Disrupt victory, multiple venture capital firms offer to finance Pied Piper's Series A round.
Peter Gregory has died and is replaced by Laurie Bream to run Raviga
Capital. Richard finds out that Hooli is suing Pied Piper for copyright infringement,
claiming that Richard developed Pied Piper's compression algorithm on
Hooli time using company equipment. As a result, Raviga and all the
other VC firms retract their offer. Richard turns down Hooli's buyout
and accepts funding from Russ Hanneman, though Richard quickly begins
questioning his decision after learning about Hanneman's mercurial
reputation and his excessive interference in day-to-day operation.
Belson promotes Big Head to Hooli [xyz], to make people think he
created the compression algorithm and Richard stole it to create Pied
Piper. Belson agrees to drop the lawsuit in favor of binding arbitration
to prevent the press from finding out about how bad Nucleus is. Due to a
clause in Richard's Hooli contract, the lawsuit is ruled in Pied
Piper's favor. Raviga buys out Hanneman's stake in Pied Piper, securing
three of Pied Piper's five board seats. However, they decide to remove
Richard from the CEO position due to previous incidents.
