Not prison, but unavailable technically. Former CTO/co-founder quit and we stepped up to maintain the company as COO and CTO and spent the year shipping to customers (we build custom enterprise applications with ML capability from data acquisition to "the javascript") while building a team that could survive if something happened to us, from how to pay taxes to how to write issues and develop product and think about the business, to how to hire and fire. After a year, new CTO was unavailable. We then started to build our ML platform and did our best to keep him informed so he could hit the ground running when he comes back, which is in a week. Woop woop!
