I think in like the couple months that I was doing that, I learned a lot.
So that was a company that did transportation in the healthcare space.
It was just me and the co-founder originally.
And that company grew to like...
people or so that was my second swing at doing a startup i would say and it got further than my previous attempts um but all but like it kind of ended up in a disaster uh i did end up meeting my wife there she was head of product i was ahead of engineering we got together after a year so better than a startup exit i would say definitely learned a lot but uh yeah it was one of the situations where everyone was super young in their 20s and i think there's this uh stereotype of startups that oh yeah it's a bunch of like super young people you know building stuff
After that experience, if I ever end up investing in companies, I'm not going to invest in companies with a bunch of young people because we were all just like our brains weren't fully developed.
We're all insecure about various things still.
And I played out with like company politics and dramatics and stuff.
So, yeah, that cliche of like, oh, yeah, it's a bunch of young people.
I think that's like the exception, I would say, looking back.
So like a bunch of young people succeeding is probably the exception.
And of course, we have like, famous stories of that.
But you know, like, on average, like, for me, I felt like my brain didn't finish developing until I was like, 26, I think.
So prior to that, you know, I don't know if I really should have been running a startup.
Yeah, I think for me, it's like startups are so intimate because it's just you and a few people.
And it's very intense.
Like you are, this is the thing you're doing.
Like you're not really, this is your hobby.
