Yes, yes you do! So good, I finally decided to sign up for a Deluxe account after years as a free user(for my personal network), just because of the story! ZipGrid will be a proud user of OpenDns!
How did the new round of investors come to the decision to ultimately promote you(your passion aside)? Were they having a hard time finding a replacement or did they feel you'd been wrongly demoted?
EDIT: I'm a longtime user, but I think you should consider adding a demo page so people don't need to register to see what they're missing.
Thanks, and good feedback on the need for a demo -- we're revamping the website now, it's long overdue.
In regards to your question: I was intimately involved in the fundraising process, having already known Sequoia Capital before they invested. So I knew those guys. When they invested, the former CEO was still CEO. About 5 months into their investment the CEO and the company parted ways and I immediately took over in an interim role.
After our first board meeting when I took over as interim CEO the board already seemed pleased with the immediate changes I had made and reminded me that all CEOs are interim CEOs and I should just continue to operate as CEO -- there would be no replacement search.
