Dan GrahamGUEST
So both of them have a kind of background of removing things that humans don't like doing.

I then went to law school thinking I would do intellectual property or patent law and was building websites in my spare time to earn some extra money and had partnered up with a couple of friends of mine that I had grown up with who had moved back to town after undergrad.

Dan GrahamGUEST

Dan GrahamGUEST
And one of the companies that we pitched that rejected our website proposal ended up turning into the business that I started with them back in 2006.
