A founder shows Adil a working prototype of video uploads, synchronized presentations, and live classes. Adil tells him to abandon the old idea and pursue this instead. A demo changed the direction of the company.
And at this point I said like, "Adil, can I take like 10 more minutes of your time?" He said yes. I said like, "I want to show you something. We gave up on this idea before, but I feel like there was something here." Like, and I showed Udemy, the original Udemy. I said like, "Here's a platform. You can upload videos, presentations. You can sync things. You can do live classes." We had built quite a bit of a product. So, and he saw this and he said, "Look, honestly, I would just completely ignore the other idea, but there is something here."
