I think of companies like, you know, Zipline, Keller's company that are

that were incredibly exciting, probably in a deck back then, but then now are like actually coming to real fruition, at least here in the US.

And you mentioned like weeks like this with a lot of activity.

I've certainly felt that way as an angel investor.

It's like the more time that passes, the more fun it is to be an angel investor because you're not just making new investments, but you're getting to see the sort of stories of all your previous investments play out and you start to like really notch wins.

And it's a great feeling.

Do you think a lot about what you would do if you were you from 10 or 15 years ago and you were trying to disrupt Airbnb?

Like, is that a helpful exercise?

And so I told them this is what I would do.

But that's because you understand this market better than anyone else.

You know the key drivers.

I don't think any 26-year-old off the street.

Sorry to push back there, but my wife's planning a vacation and there's like,

three-ish hotels that we're looking at, and we're looking for specific dates, and she theoretically, I'm not saying the products are there yet, but theoretically you could ask a chat bot, I'm interested in staying in this location, I'm interested in these hotels, I have X, Y, Z number of people, and it could go, and the agent could go and pull together

like relevant sort of like listings or or room types etc pricing show me pictures and then actually do an analysis of the trade-offs based on all the information available as well as information in other parts of the internet and pull it together and then she could share that chat with me and we could both review it together

I'm sure you did after the 2028 intelligence crisis.

Thankfully, they picked DoorDash instead of you guys.

Yeah, I was surprised at the push into browsers last year from some different AI companies, specifically because I already felt like an LLM, like the chatbots were helping me browse around the internet.

It was like just double down on that and helping me find information all over the internet.

I like that it's brought together in a standardized way, right?
