Yeah, great to be here, and thanks for what you do for technology and also for the LA Tech community.
Yeah, it is fun.
Have you been in LA for a long time?
I grew up here, and I've moved back here about 10 years ago and have been all about promoting the LA Tech community.
I started a company called .LA, which is a media company to promote LA Tech.
Yeah.
So, yeah, quickly about my background.
I did some time on Wall Street and then broke free from that.
Not enough people.
Wanted to do something more entrepreneurial.
My first startup was hotwire.com, which we sold to Expedia.
Then I was at Expedia briefly.
And then I left to start Zillow.
I was the CEO and co-founder of Zillow.
Ran it for 15, 16 years.
And then kind of retired for a couple of years.
Angel invested in new startups, incubated new startups, mostly with former Zillow folks.
And then stepped in as CEO of Match Group about a year and a half ago.
I mean, you're clearly capable.
Well, I was on the board.
