try and figure out what almost unfair advantage you can buy with that equity because it's the cheapest equity or it's the most expensive kind of equity you're going to give away at that point in time, assuming your company is going to get better and better and better.

And how do you use that to like go in and work with somebody who is stellar and who's going to go in and compliment you, right?
