Keith himself was a legendary investor and had had a legendary run and was particularly knowledgeable about that space.
He had helped start Square, was early at PayPal.
He was uniquely positioned to understand exactly what we were trying to do.
And we felt like he would be the perfect investor for our kind of business.
We're interested to talk to him more for the advice than the money, which is, I guess, the best way to meet investors.
The framework that I have for it is...
We don't think of investors very differently than we think of our employees.
The difference is you can't buy ramp stock on the open market.
You can be a private investor in ramp or you can come work at ramp.

Employees invest their time and their effort and investors invest their capital or their piece capital.
