And I will say I'm having the time of my life at Legoro.
So I've always been very entrepreneurial.
I tried to start a number of companies when I was in college at Washington University in St.

I ended up graduating in three years, getting my master's in finance, going down a path towards investment banking.

I did that for a number of years.

And it wasn't as fulfilling as I wanted it to be.
And I had a desire to combine my love of entrepreneurism with investment banking.

And so I thought, great, I want to be a venture capitalist.
