Tell me about the story about how you moved out to Silicon Valley.

A lot has been written about this 996 culture.

I did three months at Jeffries Investment Banking.

Banking has a crazy culture.

How would you compare these two cultures?

It's flow.

When you're doing something, you love it and you're doing it in a team.

There's something special about working hard and long hours with a team versus siloed towards a mission.

It's what people talk about working in SpaceX.

They don't look at it as working 70, 80 hours a week.

They're looking at it.

They're on a mission and they're there to complete the mission.

It's very European of him to even consider your wife interviewing.

You mentioned Sam Altman, his CFO, Sarah Fryer, is this legendary CFO.

And the role of CFO has really evolved over the last, I'd say, 20 years in Silicon Valley.

It used to be literally you would just take a CFO of a public company, put them into a startup for quote-unquote adult supervision.

Now it's much more of an entrepreneurial role.

Tell me about the role of CFO today in both Legor and also what is the best practice for a Silicon Valley CFO?

Have you had to create new metrics, new frameworks?

You're also, I think, the first CFO I've ever met that has their own fund.
