And so at this point, it was like, okay, no, you are amazing at naming things if you were at Amazon.
And so early on in the company.
Before we were incorporated, we were at an annual conference of a very big major tech company.
And we had been discussing with them.
You have to realize the company at this point is me, my co-founder, CEO Margarita.
We know the first person is going to join us.
We haven't incorporated yet.
And we were discussing an OpenAI Microsoft-style deal with this big tech company.
Like they were going to provide us with a lot of compute.
We would give them, you know, perpetual access, a whole bunch of kind of things.
And we found out the name was trademarked, Snowball Labs, while we were at that conference and having this discussion that we had no right to have, right?
We were a couple of guys who had nothing yet, but this big company was willing to entertain the fact that we might partner with them.
And we were discussing this and it was in their annual conference in a public setting.
And the chief scientist of that company said, people can hear us here.
Like we should move somewhere else.
Let's go to the restaurant pool side.
And for some reason, me and Jason looked at each other in that moment and said, oh.
And then later that night, the name stuck with us.
The word stuck with us.
And we said, let's call the company Poolside.
