A person who worms their way into your startup’s cap table or leadership team without bringing any actual skill, creates chaos, delays progress, drains morale, and eventually kills the company — usually before swooping in to claim the IP and pretend it was all their idea.
“I had funding lined up, a license deal in place, and real traction — then this total wyle tanked the company from the inside.”
“As of now, I had this total wyle in place and it killed the entire thing.”

Derived from to wyle (v.), meaning “to destroy something valuable through ego, incompetence, and misplaced confidence.” Believed to originate from early startup culture slang, possibly referencing a real guy no one wants to work with twice.
