You've been a VC in my heart for a long time.
I take offense to that and also thank you.
Welcome to season eight, episode three of Acquired, the podcast about great technology companies and the stories and playbooks behind them.
I'm Ben Gilbert and I'm the co founder and managing director of Seattle based Pioneer Square Labs and our venture fund, PSL Ventures.
And I'm David Rosenthal and I am an angel investor based in San Francisco.
And we are your hosts.
Ben, your bio there.
It's a little different this time.
Congratulations, my man.
Thank you.
Very long.
Seattle.
Excited for the future of the Pacific Northwest.
It's very exciting.
Well, well deserved promotion to managing director.
Well, thank you.
And I mean, frankly, it's most exciting just to have a new $100 million early stage fund to invest in Pacific Northwest entrepreneurs who also might be acquired listeners.
Well, today we are talking about a company that frankly couldn't be further from the Pacific Northwest.
Well, maybe you could.
I suppose if you're on the east coast of the United States, you might be literally halfway around the world.
