Was it, did it predate Speedrun or, and then you applied or did you kind of come up with the idea during Speedrun?

Peter CetaleGUEST
So just in terms of the, uh, career path, so right after I sold Religio, I joined a venture capital firm called Human Capital, which I was a principal there.

Peter CetaleGUEST
And, uh, Human Capital, the, the two leaders, uh, Baris and Arman, what they looked at, if you look in terms of the last 10 years, the whole thesis was most of the unicorn companies, about, and they're, and this is just their kind of rough numbers, like 90% of the unicorns come from technical founders.

Peter CetaleGUEST
And so I was talking with Baris and I was like, "I don't know." I'm thinking really B- uh, Baris was the main partner at, at, at Human Capital, who's the founder of the fund.

Peter CetaleGUEST
And we were talking and I said, "Look, I, I really wanna build another business.

Peter CetaleGUEST
I'm not sure if I wanna kind of do the VC route." And what I think was very strong at Human Capital was being able to be in such a strong network of these top engineers that you go ahead and be able to be connected to and potentially start businesses with and, and really learn the process of Uh, of also to recruiting.
