It's very painful to see accelerators that are also vibrant community hubs shut down because of business dynamics. I've lived that. What I can see here is someone who cares about his community. I was never a part of PIE, but I know Rick did it for the right reasons. And I know from Matter that the community continues long after the thing itself has disappeared. The legacy is long lasting. Congratulations, Rick - on to the next thing. [#Technology](https://werd.io/tag/Technology)
