Season 4
Richard steps down as CEO of Pied Piper, and instead begins working
on a new project: a decentralized, peer-to-peer internet, that would be
powered by a network of cell phones without any firewalls, viruses, or government regulations. Gavin Belson is removed as CEO of Hooli after an incident involving COPPA
violations from when he seized PiperChat. Jack Barker takes his place
as CEO. Gavin temporarily works with Richard, until he has an
existential crisis and leaves Palo Alto for Tibet.
Laurie and Monica form their own VC company, Bream/Hall. Big Head becomes a lecturer at Stanford University's
Department of Computer Science. Erlich gets into business with Keenan
Feldspar, whose VR headset is the Valley's latest sensation. However,
Erlich is left out of a signing deal and is abandoned by Feldspar,
leaving Erlich disillusioned. Erlich then goes to Tibet to meet with
Gavin. While Gavin eventually returns home, Erlich stays.
Richard gets into business with FGI, an insurance company, who
uses Pied Piper for their data storage needs. After a crisis involving
FGI's data storage, the team discovers that the decentralized internet
is a working concept after the data from their Pied Piper server had
backed itself up to Jian-Yang's smart refrigerator, as Gilfoyle used
some of the Pied Piper code when he was trying to hack it, which in turn
connected itself to a network of other refrigerators like it and
distributing the data. Gavin ousts Jack from Hooli and regains his
position as CEO. He offers a very generous acquisition deal to Richard,
who turns it down and decides to be funded by Bream/Hall.
