From Reddit discussions, if they can be trusted, there is nobody who can remove Matt from any position. It's a private company and the investors were given non-voting shares.

My understanding is that the investors signed proxy voting rights over to Matt. They are mostly ordinary shares, and may be revocable. [1]

I am confused -- so if investors don't like the CEO, there is nothing they can do? Other than maybe taking their part of the money out?

he'd already be out if it was simple to force him out
