Um, Will and I had come from Maximum PC, and Kickstarter was still, was, was a, was a brand-new thing, and we were so curious from a hardware perspective, all these Kickstarters.
Norman ChanGUEST
That's why we backed, you know, the first MakerBot 3D printer, the Cupcake CNC that we built, right? And, and Kickstarters became a great way to find interesting hardware projects, and then also then, you know, you-- today we call it creating content around it, but then to cover it is what we wanted to do.
Norman ChanGUEST
Cover these projects, talk to people who were building things, and one of those things that were being built, as we were all gamers also, uh, was, was, uh, the VR headset that, you know, Palmer Luckey was working with John Carmack on, on making.
Norman ChanGUEST
So, uh, DK1, and we were lucky to, you know, uh, Jeremy Williams, who co-hosted the Projection show we did on Tested for many years and was a podcast co-host of mine for many years, good friend, he's been in the forefront of being interested in new technologies and VR, so he backed it as well.
Tony ConradGUEST

Tony ConradGUEST
And I thought like, wow, if I squint and I just kind of think about Matt Mullenweg at WordPress or Brie Pettis at MakerBot or Amy Aratt at Madison Reed or James Park at Fitbit or, oh my God, just go through all the greatest hits of these companies and these founders, John Foley at Peloton, like they're all the same.
Tony ConradGUEST
Literally, that's all they're thinking about is they have this vision of the way their product is supposed to intersect with you in your world.
Tony ConradGUEST
And they're uncompromising in how they impose that on you, but in a nice way, a welcoming way, right? And I think that's just so fantastic.

It was a Netflix documentary.
Jack MoldaveGUEST
It was like when MakerBot and Formlabs and all these people came out with all these sorts of things.
Jack MoldaveGUEST
They basically took a thing that, It was about the size of maybe not a room, but it fit into a large room.
Jack MoldaveGUEST
It was a couple tons of a machine.
Whitney PotterHOST
Yeah.
