The record claims Austin Chen is 'Founder & CEO' with a start date of April 2024. However, the Wikipedia source clearly states that 'Stephen Grugett is the current CEO of the organization' and that Manifold was 'founded in December 2021 by Austin Chen and brothers James and Stephen Grugett.' The source confirms Austin Chen as a founder but contradicts the claim that he is the CEO. Additionally, the start date of April 2024 is not supported by the source, which only mentions his founding role in December 2021.
