Everyone is assuming that the founders sold the company data to Fly Maids, a brand-new company nobody has ever heard of before.

It's also possible one of the founders just spun up the new service themselves and copied over all of the customer records. If so, they may want to prepare to be sued by their previous investors.

It's one thing to fail after giving it the good ol' college try, but it's another entirely to strip the copper out of the walls on your way out.

Speculation aside, they should put out a statement to clarify the relationship between the companies and what's going on with their customers' data.

Well, according to their Privacy Policy you can just shoot them an e-mail:

Oh wait....

[Bonus points for saying they are incorporated in Delaware who has no record of a business by that name.]

*Edit- See below, I searched the company name on the Delaware website two different ways and they certainly do not have an active registration or even a name reservation.

Every startup is incorporated in Delaware, not always as the name they call themselves.

I presume this is language that was copied straight from the website of the competitor
