Two weeks later, we started building harnesses for a company called Stellar Pizza, this automation for pizza making.

And I just went to all the startups in the El Segundo area.

And back then, there was a lot less of them around and said, like, I'm a wire harness startup.

I love to just go build for you and just whatever price you want, whatever lead time, I don't care.

I'm just trying to get my foot in the door.

And it's really eye opening just to start getting our hands dirty on like

in my apartment on a table, all hand tools and figuring that out too.

And the fundraising environment is definitely very different than now, which is explaining why hardware is very important, showing the growth of it, showing why software and technology can make a big difference.

SpaceX obviously paved that path before me of like where I just got to see it firsthand, but now like kind of convincing the entire capital market of like,

this is a very old industry that's all done by hand uh we will adopt the best technology to make it the most streamlined harness manufacturing in the world and as automated as possible and so i flew all over the country with this wire stripping machine which is about the size of like a printer uh to

different investors.

And what I did was I like took a 600 page book of how to build a wire harness today.

And I took this machine and I said, here's the old process, manual tools, a lot of documentation.

Here's the new process, configured machines and one button that you press to kind of be able to do the entire manufacturing process.

What do you prefer?

What do you think is better?

And it was really kind of putting it in people's eyes of like,

The fix is simple, but we need to have the time and effort to be able to implement this across an entire industry too.

And so a lot has changed since then, whereas now we've just seen companies grow so fast, just even the startups that I even knew that were in WeWorks and their apartments as well to now they're multi-billion dollar companies today, and we support a large amount of them.

And it's been very exciting to actually be part of this industrial-based growth of like,
