I knew I wanted to go earlier stage and be part of defining the product and the company from the earliest days. So I had a few ideas that I was kicking around in my head.

And when I started dreaming about insurance APIs and sketching those out on the bus, that's when I really knew this was the one. I think that the biggest feeling was this is going to happen.
