A lot of this is public now.

But at the time, it was a really tough journey.

And I would give Dario, Tom, the other co-founders, you know, Daniela, Jack, Sam McCandlish, Jared Kaplan.

It was such a brutal time getting this company going.

I'm not sure I would because the world is a very different place today.

And at the time, it really did feel like there was no one they could trust.

No, what are you talking about?

Look, I started AMP as a public benefit corporation because I think it's actually a very aligned model.

Have you heard of REI, right?

REI is a public benefit corporation.

They make billions of dollars in revenue and profit.

Have they ever been hauled up in front of Congress?

No.

Like Ben and Jerry's, public benefit corporation, have they been hauled up in front of Congress?

No, it's because they self-moderated at a time when they said, here's our mission.

We have to build a business.

Those things are not in conflict long term.

If your goal in life is long term to push humanity forward in some stable, reliable way, there are always tensions where you have your mission and then you have your profit motive.

And you've got to be able to moderate between those two.

I think public benefit governance allows you to do that.
