I was so honored.

It was great to show up at MicroConf and have such name recognition.

Every time I talked to somebody, it was just like, oh, help Scott.

It was really, really nice.

Yeah, 15 years, but I'm such a big fan of what you are doing, the community that you've built.

MicroConf has been a force of nature for so long.

It was really great to be there with, you know, people, it's with kindred spirits, people with shared values.

I just, I think that's a really special event.

Natalie and Chris, yeah, they're legends.

Holy moly.

I know, wasn't that wild?

And this was before Techstars was doing a convertible node and like all this additional capital.

Back in the day, startup accelerators were much more profitable.

It was truly, they gave us $18,000.

And that was literally like the money that we lived on for the next three months.

Like we shared an apartment.

I slept two feet from one of my co-founders for three straight months, just grinding.

and trying to build that product and bring it to life.

And so 18 grand, and we ended up returning about $2.5 million on that investment.

Yeah, so I'd been working with my co-founders for six years.
