So I'll give you, let me give you the background on OpenRouter.
Alex is a phenomenal, phenomenal founder.
He started a company called OpenSea before, which was the NFT company, obviously that at its peak was, I think, a $14 billion, more than $10 billion company.
It did not meet that valuation's expectations, but look, there's many things out of control and in your life.
Then Alex started this company called OpenRouter.
And what gravitated me towards it initially was two things.
One, it was very clear from my time at Glean that this is a perfect problem where engineers all think it's easy until it becomes so annoying to keep maintaining this.
That's the sweet spot because no other person, no other company will gravitate towards it.
Yet,
It is kind of thorny to be able to maintain a portal that accesses a bunch of models.
The nuances are quite tricky and annoying and boring.
So that's one thing I like.
Second thing I liked is I was pretty convinced that if there was a market for anything like this, it would have to be a PLG motion.
I think...
Go so far as to say for in any SaaS market, if there can be a PLG motion, the PLG motion will win.
What I mean by that for like if you're not, people are not familiar with venture words like PLG is all users have to be able to access and self-serve the product and try it in order for that to be successful.
Without talking to anyone.
Without talking to somebody like the classic, like get on the phone on a SaaS website.
So those two things really drew me to the business.
And then of course, third one is just quality.
