Mastodon Founder Steps Down as CEO Amid Transition to Nonprofit Entity
Eugen Rochko, founder of Mastodon, has officially resigned as CEO as the company shifts to a nonprofit entity. The move aims to ensure long-term financial stability and growth, with plans to establish a permanent nonprofit base in Belgium. The transition has been supported by outside funding, including a significant contribution from Stock Exchange co-founder Jeff Atwood. Rochko’s departure paves the way for Felix Hlatky to take on the role of executive director, focusing on team expansion and operational improvements.
