This was a stressful process.
So yeah, we actually had 72 angels in digits.
And these are the CEOs of Box, it's Aaron, of GitHub, it's Nat, of Twitter, it's Dick Costolo, et cetera, et cetera.
Oh man, both for very different reasons.
And I'd say neither were expected.
I sat down for a nice two-hour interview back in 2018 and had no idea I would be front and center in the trailer, in the movie, et cetera.
So what a surprise.
I launched my first company back in 2008.
So I guess when I was 23 or so.
And that was a tiny startup called Increo.
We ended up raising money from DFJ.
We ended up getting acquired by Box in 2009 as the first acquisition Aaron Levy ever made.
And so that was a quick run, but learned so much in that journey.
It was a learning experience, except for the fact that Box went on to IPO a decade later.
Did you get stock?
We did.
It was an entirely stock deal.
And so in retrospect, it panned out.
Exactly.
And I not only held, I still hold a lot of the shares today.
