Story co-founder S.Y Lee: I am the project initiator and final decision-maker, while Jason Zhao is more like the company facade.

Odaily News Story co-founder and CEO S.Y Lee today accepted an interview with the renowned encryption podcast The Rollup. In the interview, S.Y Lee stated: "I am the project initiator, I set the vision, built the team, raised funds, and I am the ultimate decision maker. Jason (another co-founder who announced his departure recently) focuses on protocol design and takes on more market promotion work, such as participating in podcasts and public speaking. Next, I will also participate more in podcasts and interviews, gradually taking on this role. Jason was more like the face of the company before. The outside world may think that Jason is the founder and brand representative, while I am like a shadow founder behind the scenes, and many people have not really understood this." Previously, it was reported that Story co-founder Jason Zhao announced on his personal X that he would resign from his full-time position in the project and participate as a strategic advisor.
