    I find it irritating that element’s website promotes their origins as the creators of matrix but doesnt anywhere actually give names that could be researched. Yes i could get the directors details from Companies House but frankly its just easier for me to move on and not use their software.

      If you want to do a background check, you’ll probably want to start with Matthew Hodgson.

      He is very open and communicative about his role in Matrix, so I would be surprised if you didn’t find him with just a little bit of reading/searching.

      Most of the names you can find by looking at the Git history of Element’s repos - but that seems a bit stalkerish to people that have private lives to me.
