Slightly weird one and going off on a tangent, but I heard it before this and I was like, it's just a really thoughtful statement. And it was the hardest things in life are not iron or gold, but unmade decisions. What unmade decision does Notion have that is heavy? You can take a moment to think about it.

Which person do you think has had the most profound impact, maybe on you and your leadership, maybe on Notion as a company, when I ask? That's a good question.

Do you think the way that companies are built today is wrong? Idea, raise 5 million on 25 after leaving Stripe, hire people, get to a million in ARR, you're an angel ambassador too, get to a million in ARR, have... excel index and everyone fired over you get to 10 million there do you think we are building companies wrong

It's funny, I had the founders of UiPath, Klaviyo, Service Titan, and none of them could raise. And it meant that they all were forced to stay very close to customers for the first few years. They didn't hire customer service teams. They didn't even hire product people because they had to do it all themselves. All three said the company would not be the success it is if they'd raised the money.

Take me to the time where money was a really constraining factor and you decided to raise it.

$50 million at $2 billion. I mean, that's a weird raise in the way, I mean, it's a brilliant raise, but in the way that it's minimal dilution, actually, but a lot of money. $50 million buys a lot. The traditional notion is, well, VCs wouldn't like that because they can't get the ownership that they need. How do you think about that raise, the structure of it? I'm just fascinated.
