And it's because a memo really is a vehicle to obviously give background on a company, all the work you've done, but it is also a little bit a pre-sell before the company comes in to present.

Acquired
Benchmark Part II: The Dinner

One of the things we didn't talk about for our dinners is by getting to engage on these topics that aren't just the business of what we do every day, you just get to enjoy being together.

Acquired
Benchmark Part II: The Dinner

And you get to know each other in different dimensions, some of the stories that get told.

Acquired
