And so it's actually a funny story.

I was with Trey at In-Q-Tel, which is the CIA's investment arm.

They have a big conference every year.

And we were at that conference, and he's like, we're starting the company.

It wasn't even named Anduril yet, but he's like, we're starting the company.

I knew what that meant.

He's like, Palmer has just been fired from Facebook.

He cares a lot about defense.

I think we can convince the head of engineering at Palantir.

I think we can convince some of these guys to join, and we're going to start it.

And I just said, I don't care.

And of course, I didn't have the authority to say this, but I said, I don't care whatever you're doing.

I want to be an investor in it.

I want our firm to be an investor in it.

I'm going to get it done.

Of course, I can't make that promise because I'm nobody.

But I immediately drive home, call the partners, and say, Palmer Luckey's starting this company, and we need to be a part of it.

And usually in Silicon Valley, they'd be like, oh, that's great.

This famous founder who sold a company to Facebook for $3 billion is starting a new company.

We want in.
