Year

The index host prints its own investment month, January 2022, which is the backer's date; the company's own about page names him and gives no history of the change; the second backer's tile carries no year at all.

A Chicago analytical laboratory, formerly Stat Analysis Corporation, running environmental and industrial-hygiene testing for consultants, contractors and building owners.

What Happened Next

Trading under its new name. The index host names him chief executive beside its January 2022 investment and the company's own about page agrees. A second backer's tile pairs him with the company and calls him its finance chief, which is the disagreement that held this row for a week.

The exit ends of journeys like this one, where the buyer has announced the purchase itself, are on Buyers.

Method & Source

This record is double-sourced: it joined when the purchase and, where the company has traded on, the exit could both be read in primary accounts rather than inferred.

These sources name who runs the business and when the firm invested, rather than saying in a sentence that the searchers bought it. The index host names him as chief executive in a sentence beside its January 2022 investment; a second backer's tile pairs him with the company and calls him its finance chief; the company's own page says chief executive. Nothing says he bought it.
