And so it kind of grew from there.

And this was all still in the north of England.

I was in the first year of college at the time.

We started branching out into dairy and predicting how much milk animals would make.

And I tried to raise the first venture round for the company in the UK.

Didn't get very far.

And so ended up going to the US for the US AgTech Investing Conference.

San Francisco.

It's my first time in the States, never been before.

And it was like my last ditch attempt to try and raise some money.

And I met a bunch of VCs, didn't raise any money, but I did meet a guy who had just finished doing Y Combinator.

And he was like, oh, you need to apply to YC.

That's what you need to do.

You need to move the company to the US.

You need to apply to YC.

That's the only thing you can do here.

And I was familiar with YC, but I had never applied.

What year was this?

This was like the end of 2015.

Okay.
