Maple co-founder Joe Flanagan said in a post reported by Foresight News on November 12, 2026, that he would leave the company after seven years building and operating it.
Flanagan said his differences with fellow co-founder Sid had widened over company strategy, leadership and their outlook on life. He believed the disagreement was no longer good for the team or business, and that Maple would be better served by one co-founder continuing to lead it. He also said he could not keep supporting a direction he disagreed with.
Flanagan said he would help Sid and the team with the transition through the end of 2026, then cease involvement in Maple.
