This wasn't just a biohacker. I'm taking this. What are you taking? Exactly. And so the core concept was to bring back the stack sharing concept I saw what you guys were doing with Function, and I was so inspired by it.

I remember the first day, I had the idea in my head. So a friend of mine came over for dinner without me saying anything.
