Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

And Dan and I always go back to that and saying how right he was.

And we didn't even fully appreciate how good a business it ultimately was, which we do now.

But anyway, so that went really well.

So we had the financing lined up.

He was open to receiving a proposition.

Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

We put a proposal together and we presented it to him.

Then there was radio silence for a week.

We felt radio silence for a week is normal.

Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

That's a big deal.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

They're deliberating about it.

Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

But then that became two weeks and three weeks and four weeks.

Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

Totally normal to take eight weeks or seven weeks.

So six weeks into it or something.

I get an email back basically saying, listen, thank you so much for your proposal.

Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

We're not prepared to move forward.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

And something like best of luck with your future endeavors.

And it really had two lines, maybe a two and a half line.

Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

At which point I picked up the phone and called this guy whom I had hit it off so well with.

Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz - Inside 3G Capital - [Invest Like the Best, EP.458]

And I said, listen, thank you for your email.
