Co-founder of $2B startup says he was fired for taking LSD at work

The co-founder and former CEO of $2 billion marketing startup Iterable says he was squeezed out of the company for taking LSD on the job. 

San Francisco-based Iterable reportedly sent out a memo to staff on Monday announcing that co-founder Justin Zhu was fired for violating company policy, but Zhu told Bloomberg on Tuesday that the board ousted him for taking the psychedelic before a meeting in 2019. Zhu told Bloomberg he was experimenting by taking a small amount of the psychedelic, or microdosing, in an effort to boost his focus. A representative for Iterable did not return the Post’s request for comment.
