It turns out that you need help from about a hundred million billion talented people to start a new business. Most of the people who have helped us so far have done so basically because they’re generous with their time and excited by what we’re building. That or they clearly have way too little else to do.

Not to mention the most important people of all: the ones who emotionally bankroll us, cajole us, suffer us, frequently despair of us, and occasionally get really annoyed at us. You know who you are. Thank you.
