Just an addition to the prior comment: To be as generous as possible, I just pulled their audit report [0] and to answer your question, all I propose is that they stick to this (especially the part on minimum permissions, any extended permissions need to be reasonable and reasoned for, etc), which they did not. The fault lies threefold:
First of all with the team members as Context.ai, that either weren't experienced or did not care enough to know that the "all green" they got from Delve straight away couldn't have been accurate.
Secondly, with the people at Delve who, at least in this isolated case, seem to not have fulfilled their obligations and are suspected to have done so in a consistent, repeated and intentionally malicious manner.
Third, the people who, despite claiming to have done their due diligence, being experienced investors and professionals in the field whose own prior companies also had to undergo audits in the past, looked at Delve and were willing to overlook the misdeeds for financial gain.
