And this then morphed into the Gusto idea over time.

But at some point, I just knew I need to quit my job to pursue this fully.

And you did this on your own, the Gusto idea?

I had a co-founder for three years.

Okay.

So for the last 11 years, I've been by myself.

And initially, I had a co-founder.

So when you started...

Could you describe the scene?

I mean, where were you?

What were you doing?

How did it work?

So I moved back into student accommodation.

My girlfriend back then did her PhD in Oxford University.

And so we moved into the tiniest, tiniest place in Oxford.

I took the 7 a.m.

train to get to London.

And we rented this...

tiny space which served as a test kitchen slash office slash everything where was that i was near shepherd's bush but not where you have a tube station a train station or even a bus so you had to walk quite long to an industrial complex you had a shell gas station and a tesco a tiny tesco convenience store

So it was fairly basic and downstairs my co-founder or I would cook and upstairs one of us would work and the fumes and smell would go.
