Over time, you sort of realize that that was not a good approach to what we're trying to do. We then realize that that makes two be of a chip. You can't make many of them and you end up as like three person something. Make one chip a year and then you can sell them. So it's not about like the definitions of giving up. It's like you give up. I'm not gonna do this anymore, et cetera, et cetera. But what you really should be aiming for is like, okay, if something's not working. figure out what's not working and then basically evolve from there, like build on top of it, like remove the things that's not working and then build. That's like the core thing of how you keep going forward. And like pivoting for like SaaS companies, guess, it's like, ⁓ we have a million ARR and we were sort of stuck in this growth, like we're plateauing. Who am I to tell you to pivot? But if you're not reached... 10 million, 100 million, you gotta do something,
More or less. Then I have an assumption that you look into this resilience factor a lot in your co-founder probably as well. How did you guys meet? How did you had this click?

Yes. That was a funny story. I was still in university. This VC invited both of us and a few other people to like a conference thing for a week in London. It was at a girls boarding school that they rented out. So we just met there and then we like just started talking about like the future we really want to build and what's really needed. And I remember my co-founder's name is Prithvi and I remember like meeting him and the first thing you said like there's something here there's like something like on the tip of her tongue the first thing and we just like took a walk around the the compound basically it was like good nature like good whatever quite a beautiful place to be honest and we sort of sort of talking about that and then we were like wait this this is like yeah we should do this and then that's when i met him and then i was on the uk then i fly back and then A few miles after that, we go to the YC. Yeah, yeah, no, actually we used to call it like co-founders at the first site.
