Before we were on that stage together, you spent 10 years in the mobile space.

Starting in 2000, there was five years at Vindigo, and there was five years a little bit later at Millennial Media.

And just for context for people, the Palm Pilot came out in 1997, and the iPhone came out in 2007.

So you were working in mobile both before there was truly a mobile industry, and then also as it was getting built.

And I think, you

know, let's just say that, you know, if we go back to when the mid part of the last decade, when we started looking at this space, you know, where's millennial media and Yumi and Tremor? I mean, there's so many companies that we thought were going to be world beaters.

and they're gone.

So there is a natural birth death cycle in this industry of companies that come to prominence, make a big impact on the market, and then fade away.

The circle of life on Wall Street.

I

remember listening to Millennial Media.

I think it was their last earnings report.

And I can say that from my experiences, and I've also done it myself before, and I also had one with Steph.

Steph and I had our own thing too called Millennial Media.

So I've had a lot of LLCs with a lot of partners.

But like this group that I have right here, like building something that not only you are passionate about, but the people that are on your team are equally as passionate about, like I know that with them, it's never about money.
