A Oh, man. Okay. So, you know, this is the, uh, the journey of hard knocks. I mean, learning by doing, there's an old Hebrew phrase that says, Asash Shema, by doing we will understand.

And at this time, TaskRabbit, who I'm sure you've heard of, was also in the formation process, as was TopTal, which I later ended up running their growth team for a while.
