All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
LA's Wildfire Disaster, Zuck Flips on Free Speech, Why Trump Wants Greenland

Well, I mean, Cyan and I fought in the Clone Wars together. It was a long time ago. But she's a technologist, self-made individual, who then decided she would start writing small angel checks about 14 years ago. Literally the same year I did. And myself, Cyan, of all... She's done profoundly better than you. She's done incredible, yes, of course. We'll get into it.

And Cyan and I would, 14 years ago, I guess, we would meet startup companies together and host little events where we get together and take pitches. And we invested in a couple of companies together, and it worked out very nicely for everyone involved. Yeah.

Yeah, it's been a good run. It's been a good run. And also, I'll just add, a wonderful human being. And if you ever had the chance to hang out and talk for a couple of hours, Cyan would be one of those people that you'd put right at the top of the list.

I love it. Yeah. Well, it's true. Cyan was voted most humble in our angel investing group, and I was a close second. So I almost won most humble. More work to do being humble. I'm going to get you a t-shirt called the humblest. No, you have to borrow it from Chamath. He's had it for the last 10 years.

They were like, we're going to do it in the summer because we're trying to get some summer programming going. That's what we're going to test up.
