Former OpenAI Policy Exec Joins Founders Fund

Ryan Beiermeister joined Founders Fund as partner on July 13, five months after OpenAI fired her as VP of Product Policy. Her dismissal followed her reported objection to a planned ChatGPT adult-content feature, which OpenAI scrapped in March 2026. A male colleague's sexual discrimination accusation, which Beiermeister called "absolutely false," also surfaced.
