In 2022, the founder of software company Domo stepped down as CEO after he was accused of sexually assaulting an employee on a work trip, an allegation he denied. A year later, he came back to lead the company.

Since then, the troubles of the once-hot startup have worsened, rocked by executive departures, new competition from AI agents, and the drunken-driving arrest of its founder and CEO, Josh James.

James was arrested last year on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol after crashing his BMW into a mailbox, according to bodycam footage and a police report reviewed by Business Insider. He pleaded not guilty and has an upcoming hearing scheduled for July. The incident hasn't previously been reported.
