You know, it's taken three companies public.

That's what I wanted to do.

And I thought I'd be much better off working with that guy.

Yeah.

No, I love YC.

But all the other investors are on my board, so I would feel very rude.

That'd be a fucking awkward board meeting, wouldn't it?

It would be very awkward.

No, but yeah, I think because they're not that... Well, I think that's unfair.

They're extremely helpful still.

YC rocks.

I still speak with Gustav every quarter, but all the other are either board observers or board of directors, so I can't comment on that.

What's your most unpopular belief about where AI is heading?

I really do believe in the platformization.

I think there are way too many point solutions that will not survive a winter bubble, whatever you might call it.

And they would deliver more value as being part of a broader ecosystem.

What do you know now that you wish you'd known at the start of Leia?

I wish I knew what the intensity of doing and thinking about nothing else would sort of impact your own psyche and personality.

For the last two and a half years, I've basically done nothing else than to think about Leia or Legora or the business.

When you're in college or prior to that, I was doing so many different things.
