Transcript

Tech Founders right before receiving a $20M check. Sorry we didn't prepare any slides. I'm Ross. I'm Natalie. I graduated from Stanford. I dropped out of Harvard when I was 14. And I exited my first company when I was 8. We are both CS majors. I have a PhD in biophysics. We spend most of our time at our hacker house. It's 14 dudes in a three bedroom. We're pre-product, pre-revenue, and pre-idea. Is it AI? Probably. Yeah, we're thinking AI. How's $20 million sound? That's, that's. Thank you. Yeah, thanks.
