Reviving this thread to point out that Kape Technologies has now entered into a partnership with mobile carrier 3 Hong Kong:
“This is the first co-operation between PIA and a telecom operator. PIA VPN will be available for 3 Hong Kong’s postpaid and prepaid customers who can subscribe to the service directly with 3 Hong Kong.”

(and there are other source documents out there available upon searching)
So that makes at least three VPN providers and one mobile carrier partnership that Kape has now scarfed up. In my opinion, this raises numerous red flags.
Edit: Also be aware of this:
“In March 2021, news broke that Kape had purchased Webselenese, which is the parent company of vpnMentor and Wizcase” https://restoreprivacy.com/vpn-review-websites-owned-by-vpns/
Edit2: The review/recommendations site safetydetectives[.]com is also owned by Kape.
