Live recording of a ZFellows startup workshop where Corey (moderator) introduces entrepreneur/investor Kevin Hartz. The clip covers the opening exchange: Corey describes ZFellows and Kevin's background (co‑founder of Eventbrite and Zoom; early investor in Airbnb, PayPal, Pinterest, etc.), then Kevin begins his talk, joking about a talk title referencing rental cars.

I think we will mostly get started. My name's Corey and I help run ZFellows, which is this kind of one week experiment. It's a very kind of like low commitment accelerator where 10 or 15 builders come to learn and get inspired for a week. And today we're doing a little experiment here where we've invited a fellow mentor to give a talk in front of a live audience. And I'm excited to welcome and introduce Kevin Hartz. He is an entrepreneur and investor who's made a significant impact in the technology world over the last few decades. He co founded two big companies that I'm sure some of you all have heard of, Eventbrite and Zoom. And he's also an incredible investor that's seed funded a number of companies that I'm sure we've all heard of like Airbnb and PayPal and Trulia, Pinterest and Dural and many more. And he's going to give a talk that I saw him making in the car today, which I love the title. In the history of the world, no one has ever washed a rental car. Kevin, thank you for speaking.
Corey. Corey, thank you so much. That was a wonderful introduction and it's always lovely when the moderator just throws you under the bus like right at the beginning of a talk. So, you know, quid pro quo. Like I found out some great news tonight in that we're illicitly using.
