We've got a quick sort of check in with a portfolio company from the Ride Home fund for you today.

We've got Robert Talin from Round.

If you'll recall, they were the ones

that recently went through Y-Cominator.

So let's start there, Rob. I appreciate you coming on to give us a check-in but also

tell us how YC demo day went. Yeah last time I was here was about two weeks before demo day and we were just getting ready for fundraising and we went through an entire process and I'll tell you, it was pretty amazing.

Like, like, Wycy demo day is still everything that they talk about.

Like there's 420 companies going through it, but still it was, you know, one minute pitches, one slide

pitches, so many cool companies all around to you and

then the entire purpose of demo day is to like get investors to want to talk to you like

a little introduction a trailer and that's exactly what it was. We

at over 120 likes or like up votes and any shows up votes like kicks off an email that is like,

hey you guys want to talk to each other

and like best me to those turn in the meetings and yeah it just really kind of

kicked off for fundraising in a very positive way and we ended up closing that

round in just a few weeks afterwards but all the prep for it's like so many so much time like

probably 15 hours of time spent on one minutes yeah it was a great experience and it was just fun to be around

other people pitching their their product and we are all in like a like

Slack channel just giving each other like encouragement and it was just really fun to be a part of that and it

really was kind of a huge like graduation. Well take it from someone that did 12

weeks at Ted for one six minute Ted talk. Just give me the feeling of

adrenaline, the feeling of like how did you like I'm sure you had it memorized it you probably repeated it you know 2,000 times but what was it like in the moment?
