It is so lonely. It is so lonely. It's so lonely when, first of all, nobody understands your idea. It's so lonely when you sent out God knows how many emails and you get rejection, rejection, rejection. It's so lonely when you don't have the funds. You have to come off, you have to, and also you have to learn, you have to learn how to make a friend in 30 seconds. They're not just investing in your tech, in your idea. The first thing they do is investing in you. Do I believe you? Do I trust you? That is number, number, number one, right? And then, and also humble. Humble is a big piece of it too. You could be a great idea, but at the same time be a nice person.
