No person- or entity-level identity check is on record for this company. A name match is not one.

their return is probably pretty darn good
the early investors in that company, it was financed pretty normally, what I'd say normally, uh, in the early rounds
Airtable was a phenomenal business and, um, you know, and a great product
now Airtable and Miro are both quite appealing to a lot of enterprises.
