We need tech credibility, right?
Sequoia is going to give us that.
So anyways, what happens is a little bit later on, Sequoia decides to make the investment.
Chris flies to Stockholm.
And we had met Michael in a hotel breakfast here in London.
And then Chris comes and he makes this beautiful presentation, right?
And the presentation is like, these are the Apple guys in the garage.
These are the Google guys in the garage.
And these are the Klana guys in the garage, and you're going to be the next Google, you know.
And we're sitting there like, oh, my God, we're going to be Google.
You know, like, we're just like, we're buying it all.
And then I feel afterwards like, this is not good.
Like, we have to do something cocky here.
We can't just like, you know, just swallow this and be like, okay, please, can we work together?
So when Chris exits the room and is just about to leave, I say, hey, Chris, just one thing.
If we are genuinely the next Google, how come you're the only one from the Sequoia partnership that's here in Stockholm today?
And then Chris looks at me and says, oh, I'm so sorry.
The other guys couldn't make it.
You know, whatever.
You have to remember, they invested.
