But I was projecting $50 million in revenue run rate by the end of the year and $500 million by the end of next year.
And so it felt like a bargain.
Dude, you do know all founders project that way.
It just doesn't happen often.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then four months later, we met Felices.
And we never would make a slide deck or take investor meetings.
And so Felices sent us an email saying, hey, we know your co-founder, Surya, really likes Ferraris.
So do you want to go racing Ferraris with us?
Then I replied, and I said, you caught my eye.
Tell me more.
And they said, we'll meet at the airport in Hayward and go on Aydin's private jet to Las Vegas to race Ferraris around the F1 track.
And so I was like, we're available in three weeks on a Sunday.
And so we do this.
We race Ferraris.
We're at $20 million in revenue.
They ask us, what valuation do we think makes most sense?
And I say $1 to $2 billion.
So they give us a term sheet at a $2 billion valuation.
And at the time, you know, that's 100 times revenue.
