(EP37): Matheus Riolfi Co-founder & CEO of Tint, AI Powered Embedded Insurance, Raises $25 Million Series A
Matheus Riolfi Co-founder & CEO of Tint.ai, an AI powered insurance solution for companies to embed insurance as part of their product offering.
A good example is Turo, a peer-to-peer car sharing service, which requires custom insurance for each part of the world it enters. Matheus previously worked as the head of international expansion at Turo, which gave him an insight (and the eventual idea for Tint) because he spent so much time figuring out the insurance challenge.
In this interview with Matheus, we hear the origin story behind Tint, innovation in the insurance industry and how Matheus left Brazil and crafted a very specific path to entrepreneurship.
Enjoy the episode, and please leave a review on Apple and Spotify.

Krish Ramineni is the co-founder & CEO of Fireflies.ai, a meeting assistant and voice intelligence platform.
In this interview Krish shares the story behind his two previous startup ideas -- a drone delivery company and an AI chatbot, which he built along with his co-founder. These companies are directly connected to what Fireflies is today, but not always in obvious ways.
Krish also shares with us how Fireflies has grown, how they built the early version of the tool (the MVP) and why it doesn't work the same way today.

(EP32): Thomas Smale, Over A Billion Dollars In Company Sales, What Business Models Lead To The Biggest Exit
This is Vested Capital episode 32, featuring Thomas Smale, the founder of FE International, a leading M&A firm.
I first interviewed Thomas 9 years ago (https://yaro.blog/11850/thomas-smale/).
At the time his company had helped to facilitate over $5 Million in deals. Now that number is over a billion dollars in business acquisitions.
I asked Thomas what led to the growth and how his team has expanded. We also talked about what business models leads to the biggest exit prices, what types of businesses are popular with buyers and more.

(EP30): Mikkel Thorup, World Traveling Expat, How To Move Offshore And Eliminate Taxes
Mikkel Thorup hosts The Expat Money Show podcast (I was on episode 155) and has spent over 21 years in continual travel around the world, visiting more than 100 countries including Colombia, North Korea, Zimbabwe, and Iran.
Mikkel runs a consultancy to help high net worth individuals move overseas, providing guidance on tax structure, visas, residencies, passports, raising your family (education, lifestyle), company structure and banking.
I asked Mikkel on to Vested Capital, first to learn about his background and how he left Canada and became a world traveler, and then how he was able to learn such a unique and dynamic skillset -- staying up to date with everything an expat needs to consider when moving overseas.
During the second half of the interview I asked Mikkel all the big questions, including which countries should we consider moving to, how to avoid paying tax and where to setup your company and bank accounts.

(EP29): Arthur Menard, CEO And Founder Of Lambs, Radiation Protection Clothing DTC Brand And 8-Figure Business
Arthur Menard is the CEO and co-founder of Lambs, a clothing brand that blocks 99% of EMFs (cellphone, 4G, 5G, Wifi, Bluetooth radiation) as well as 10x the amount of UVs compared to traditional clothing.
His company is doing 8-figures in sales, having got their start selling men's underwear online -- which I actually purchased several years ago.
Arthur has an interesting backstory, having first got started as an entrepreneur selling online training, then later co-founding a local marketing app supporting French bakeries.
The story behind Lambs however, is the most interesting, given he was blazing a trail with a new form of clothing.
If you're selling anything DTC (direct to consumer) or looking to invent a new category, this podcast will be insightful.

(EP27): Teddy Kyres, Founder Groupe Orbis Mortgage Brokerage, Single Broker Does $100 Million In Loans In One Year, How To Secure Finance For Property When The Banks Say No
Teddy Kyres is the founder of Groupe Orbis, a Montreal based mortgage brokerage firm, with over 60 brokers following the system Teddy created for succeeding as a mortgage broker.
Teddy is also my mortgage broker and helped me secure finance for investing in Montreal when I didn't have much of a tax history in Canada after moving here from Australia. The banks wouldn't loan to me, so Teddy helped me find alternative financing until I built up more history as a Canadian tax payer.
During this podcast we look at Teddy's early years as a mortgage broker and what he did to become one of the most successful in the entire country, doing over $100 Million in loans in a single year as one individual broker.
We then look at how Teddy branched out on his own starting a brokerage firm so he could expand by building a team.
Throughout the interview I also ask Teddy to break down his own property investing strategy, which as you would expect, has played a big part in Teddy's strategy for growing…

(EP26): Joshua Scigala, Co-Founder TheStandard.io, DeFi Lending, And Vaultoro, Bitcoin And Gold Trading Platform
Joshua Scigala knows a lot about crypto (thus this is a LONG episode!).
He was there when Satoshi first released Bitcoin and he was unfortunately there as well when the first major exchange, Mt. Gox, collapsed.
Today Joshua is leading a new Defi project called The Standard, a decentralized lending platform run by a DAO that focuses on hard and soft assets as collateral.
The protocol will have the ability for users to issue multiple fiat pegged algorithmic stablecoins starting with "Standard Euro" then USD, YEN and more to be rolled out.
Before this he co-founded Vaultoro, one of the first platforms where you can directly trade Bitcoin and gold, allowing you to hedge against each asset class.
During this interview we went back in time to hear about Joshua's early career and businesses in Australia, where he grew up and how he became aware of the emerging cryptocurrency movement.
We also dive deep into all things crypto and how Joshua setup his two cryptocurrency projects.

(EP25): Collis Ta-eed Co-founder Of Envato (Themeforest, Audiojungle, Videohive), Aussie Tech Unicorn That Stayed Private And Bootstrapped
Collis Ta'eed with his wife Cyan started out with an idea -- they wanted to create a marketplace where digital media producers could sell their creations to customers.
They began with the then popular Flash file format and later expanded into things like WordPress themes, music, video and code. Each type of media had a marketplace, including Themeforest for Wordpress and Audiojungle for music files.
As is typical for the marketplace model, they took a small fee from each transaction.
All these marketplaces would later be combined together under the company name Envato.
Today Envato is still a privately held company having been bootstrapped from day one. Because they are private, we don't have any public numbers about how much money they generate, but based on what journalists in Australia have written, the company does about $300 Million a year in revenue.
Collis, at the time he stepped down as CEO of Envato in 2020, reported that they had crossed the major milestone of $1 Billion…

Gabriele Musella is a well-educated, well-traveled, co-founder of Coinrule.com, a company where you can build or copy sets of rules for automatically trading cryptocurrencies.
The company recently raised $3M+ from MKB Bank, Urban Innovation Fund, Zilliqa and many Business Angels (Kayak Co-founder, EightSleep Founder).
Before that they also successfully ran a crowdfunding campaign on Seedrs, providing funds which helped them to navigate the pandemic when capital briefly dried up.
During this podcast we dive into Gabriele's past, which is full of education (London School of Economics, MIT, Harvard), travels throughout Europe and the USA for various jobs (Nokia, Loyds Bank) and three previous startups before the current one, Coinrule. The most notable was Paylinko, a fintech payments app.
Gabriele has certainly lived a full life so far, and it was exciting to piece together all the highlights that came before his current project and then also spend some time talking about how to build…

(EP23): Kison Patel, Founder Of DealRoom, Digitizing The Workflow For M&A Using SAAS
Kison Patel is the founder of DealRoom.net, a SAAS platform for managing the lifecycle of mergers and acquisitions.
Kison spent ten years of his life running his own boutique M&A advisory firm, participating in some way with 363 asset sales.
During this career, Kison noted how many processes of deals were handled with very 'old' technology, for example using spreadsheets for tracking due diligence.
This lead to the idea for DealRoom, which at first as an MVP was an attempt to better document and add a communication layer to the due diligence process.
During the interview I wanted to learn more about M&A, as well as hear the story behind how Kison grew his SAAS company, which is 100% bootstrapped at the time of this recording.
I asked Kison for examples of deals he worked on, how he sourced deals, what's the difference between a business broker and M&A advisory services and we also talked about how he built what he calls a 'media company' within his SAAS as a marketing strategy.

Russ Heddleston is the co-founder and former CEO of DocSend, which was acquired by Dropbox for $165 Million in early 2021. Russ currently works at Dropbox continuing the vision he had for DocSend.
During this interview we hear how Russ went from studying at Stanford, to working at a startup called Greystripe, then as an intern at Dropbox, and then launching his own startup Pursuit.
Pursuit was later acquihired by Facebook, where Russ continued to work for two years. He shares some interesting insights into why Pursuit didn't take off and the lessons learned, which he then took into his next startup, DocSend.
We spend a good amount of time talking about what marketing Russ and his team did to grow DocSend, how they revised their positioning and copy on their website to add fuel to their growth and how eventually the deal with Dropbox happened.
If you like B2B SAAS startup stories, this interview is for you.

Sara Mauskopf is the co-founder and CEO of Winnie.com, a marketplace platform that connects parents looking for childcare and preschool providers with over 250,000 centres around the USA.
To date, Sara and her team have raised $15.5 Million in venture funding over three rounds, with the most recent $9 million series being led by Rethink Impact.
In this interview we first dive back into Sara's history as a math major, then moving over to computer science, which led her to a job at Google after graduation. She later left Google for Twitter, then left again to join Postmates, where she met her co-founder, Anne Halsall.
Sara and Anne were a little unique as working parents inside Postmates, and realized how difficult it was to juggle raising children and maintaining full time jobs. One of the challenges was childcare, an industry that was still driven mostly by a word-of-mouth for finding good options.

I'm resurfacing this interview from 2016 because recently (2021) the team at MacGyver HQ has been sharing this interview on their social media, so I thought it would be a great time to share it with those new to Vested Capital.
It was quite a thrill to see the actual MacGyver twitter account tweet out this podcast, especially as I was a kid who grew up watching the show on TV in Australia. Here's how it all came to happen...

When I received an email offering a chance to interview Lee Zlotoff, the creator of MacGyver for the my podcast, my initial reaction was mixed.
I was excited to speak to someone who created such an iconic show, yet I wasn’t sure if he would be a good fit for a podcast about online entrepreneurship.

It's hard to summarize all the success of Wil Schroter. He's founded so many companies.
Today he's founder of Startups.com, a business education site and suite of tools and resources for entrepreneurs, some of which were previous startups by Wil (Fundable, Bizplan) and some were acquired (Zirtual, Clarity).
Wil got his start early online, initially exploring bulletin boards with a commodore computer. He then launched a web design agency, Blue Diesel, in 1994, again very early to a new industry.
His agency grew, later merging with a more traditional design agency, creating a full suite offline/online marketing firm. In a surprise success, the firm landed a massive client worth $250 Million in billings, beating out many larger agencies.
Wil eventually exited his agency ownership shares when the company was acquired. As a youg guy of just 27 he had earned enough money to retire, yet he decided to get back into entrepreneurship.

Tim Ferriss needs no introduction.
Author, lifestyle design pioneer, angel investor (Wealthfront, Uber, Facebook, Twitter, Alibaba, Shopify, Duolingo), peak performance bio hacker, accelerated learning leader and of course, podcast host.
Tim first appeared on my original podcast all the way back in 2007 when few people knew his name and he was talking about his new book, the 4-Hour Workweek.
In 2012 he returned to my podcast to talk about how to accelerate your speed of mastering a skill, the main topic of his new book at the time, the 4-Hour Chef.

Sonya Petcavich is the founder and CEO of Meowtel.com, an 'Uber for cat sitting' service where a vetted cat sitter will come to your house and look after your kitties for as long as you need them to.
Full disclosure: I am an angel investor in Meowtel and Sonya via the Jason Calacanis syndicate.
When I first had the opportunity to invest in Meowtel I was immediately a yes because I love cats and would use a cat sitting service straight away since I travel as a digital nomad (assuming I had a cat again - I haven't since I left Australia in 2015).
I also couldn't believe this service wasn't already widely available under one dominant brand because I've heard of similar services for dogs, for example Rover, which recently announced an IPO via a SPAC.

Paul Biggar got started as a computer engineer early in life. He became a specialist in the field of compilers (software engineers use compilers to test code to see if it works or not). He liked compilers so much he completed a PhD on the topic.
Paul had a few false starts as an entrepreneur, including a stint in the Y-Combinator program, but nothing really took off.
Eventually in his late twenties, while working at Mozilla, Paul foresaw that the process of compiling and testing software will move to the cloud. He had the skillset and experience to understand the need, so decided to launch another startup -- and CircleCi.com was born.
Paul, along with his co-founder, built the first version of CircleCi, charging a monthly fee for access. They were able to acquire early clients thanks to a strategic investor who introduced them to 20+ companies who needed what CircleCI offered.

In episode 8 of Vested Capital I featured an interview with VC and entrepreneur Elizabeth Yin.
During that interview Elizabeth shared the story of how she founded LaunchBit and later sold the business to Todd Garland, the founder of BuySellAds.com . This happened in 2013.
In 2012, I had Todd Garland on my podcast, where he explained how he came up with the idea and launched BuySellAds.com as a startup he created during nights and weekends while he was working at Hubspot.

(EP14): Dan Young Founder Of PC Laptops, Xidax PCs, Storage Whale, $600,000,000 Million In Property Deals
Dan Young is the son of Chinese immigrant parents who fled China to escape communnism. He then went on to live the American dream, building several companies in the computer hardware space, becoming a multi-millionaire.
Dan's first big success came in the early 1990s, when with his wife they launched a computer hardware business called PC Laptops.
By offering an unlimited service warranty, using stickers to help spread the word and a crazy television ad campaign, they grew from negative $27,000 in year one, to a million dollars in year two, then five million in year three and kept growing from there.
Dan was quick to turn his business profits back into investments, buying stocks and property. This strategy continued throughout the almost thirty years since the company started, with Dan now having done over $600,000,000 in property deals.
More recently Dan and his team launched an e-commerce retailer focused on high-end computers for video gaming, called Xidax Pcs, and Storage Wha…

Marcel Herz is co-founder and CEO of Tiliter, a company that is accelerating the democratization of computer vision.
Presently they are focused on the grocery store industry, offering a device used at checkout to scan and identify fruits, vegetables, baked goods - anything that is loose without a barcode.
This is just the tip of the iceberg however, as you can imagine being able to scan and identify real world objects will have countless applications, especially as the software gets better and quicker.

Bryan M Clayton is the co-founder of Green Pal, an 'Uber for lawncare' technology platform, connecting lawn mowing providers to customers all over the United States.
Bryan got his start as a teenager when his father forced him to cut a neighbours lawn to earn some money. Bryan liked being in charge of his income and over the next decade went on to build one of the largest lawncare companies in his city, earning over $10 Million a year in revenue with a team of 150+.

It didn't take long for Bryan to realize he needed a project to focus on to stay happy and passionate, so he decided to jump back into entrepreneurship and even stay in the same industry.

(EP11): Pili And Jason Yarusi, $75 Million Multi-Family Real Estate Portfolio Of Over 1,000 Apartments
Pili and Jason Yarusi are real estate investors who today focus on multi-family properties -- buildings that can house for example 90 apartments.
They didn't start out focusing on this type of property. Like many, they began with renovation flips, buying single family homes, upgrading them, then selling for a profit.
During this podcast Pili and Jason take us back through some of their pre-property investment days, including how they met working at a bar, but didn't get together for ten years.
We learn about their first investments, how they switched to investing interstate using the support of a turn-key provider (a partner who helped source properties for them in other cities) and eventually, the mindset shift that led them to think really big, going after the multi-family market.
As you can imagine, it costs a lot more to purchase a 90-unit building compared to a single family home. Jason explains some of the different types of financing they use today to purchase the larger bui…

(EP10): Nathan Barry, Founder Of ConvertKit.com, How They Bootstrapped To $28 Million A Year
Nathan Barry is the founder and CEO of ConvertKit.com, an email newsletter platform for creators to send newsletters and run email marketing campaigns.
Nathan is well known for transparency, sharing the behind the scenes growth in revenue of his company from day one. At the time of this interview, ConvertKit is generating over $28 Million a year in sales.
During this podcast we first cover all the businesses and roles Nathan had before he started ConvertKit, from running a web design agency at 17, to building IOS apps, to running an information publishing business selling books and courses on digital interface design making as much as $250,000 a year.
Then we switched into the origin and early stage growth stage of ConvertKit. This was a super insightful part of the interview as Nathan explained how after two years of stagnation at $2,000/month in revenue, over the next two years he ramped it up to $500,000/month in revenue.
What a run that is!
I also asked Nathan to explain his p…

(EP9): Jonathan Little Professional Poker Player With $7+ Million Winnings, Founder PokerCoaching.com
Jonathan Little is a professional poker player with over $7 Million in career earnings from tournaments (both online and in person) and is one of the most popular poker coaches/personalities in the industry.
He's also co-founder of PokerCoaching.com, a membership site and training community with over 5500 paying members, making it a multiple seven-figure business.
I met Jonathan via Jason Calacanis and his angel investor syndicate. Jonathan is an active investor in all kinds of different asset classes, from NFTs to Magic: The Gathering cards, although he is of course most focused on poker.
During this interview we go back in time to learn how Jonathan got his start in poker, how he quickly became a professional, earning as much as $30,000 a month playing a specific type of poker online. We also learn how he upped his game to the point where he won over a million dollars from one tournament - twice.
There's a lot of wisdom in this interview, and while much of it seems specific to ex…

(EP8): Elizabeth Yin Founder & General Partner At Hustle Fund, Founder LaunchBit Sold To BuySellAds.com
Elizabeth Yin is the co-founder and General Partner of a venture capital firm that, and I quote from their website, invests in "hilariously early startups".
Hustle Fund typically invests $25,000 as a starting point into startups that have yet to show any revenues. Instead, they look for traction in other ways, which Elizabeth explains in this interview.
We also go back in time looking at Elizabeth's own history as an entrepreneur, starting a company called LaunchBit, an advertising network, which was eventually acquired by BuySellAds.com.
Elizabeth and her company LaunchBit were graduates from the 500 Startups accelerator program. After selling her company, she returned to 500 Startups as an Entrepreneur in residence and later a partner.
This was her entry point into the world of venture capital. Elizabeth explains what she liked about the 500 Startups methodology -- a global perspective, any person can be a founder -- and how that informed her own strategy when forming Hustle Fund…

(VCM1): The Vested Capital Mastermind: Introducing Nick, Mani & Gideon
Introducing a new experiment on the Vested Capital podcast - a group show with some of my best friends.
Meet Nick, Mani and Gideon. Three guys I've known for years who I speak to on a regular basis.
Through our friendship we discuss all the topics that I cover here on Vested Capital, so I thought why not start a group show we can drop on the feed here once a month - or on whatever schedule we end up focusing on.
I'm a big fan of listening in to conversations with people who are doing interesting things. Nick, Mani and Gideon are running startups, investing in real estate and crypto, thinking about things like lifestyle design, balancing family with work, being productive, and of course, generating cash flow and investing to grow capital.
We don't yet have a name for this sub-show, so for now I'm calling it the Vested Capital Mastermind, since these guys have very much functioned like a mastermind group for me over the years.
In this first episode I asked each of the guys to intr…

(EP7): Jennifer Beck Founder Of Jihi.com, Cannabase.io Sold To Helix TCS, Challenges Of Cannabis Startups
Jennifer Beck is currently the founder of Jihi.com, a CBD skin and body care producer that aims to help high performing people sleep better and recover faster.
Before this, Jennifer was co-founder of Cannabase, a wholesale exchange platform for the legal cannabis industry, which was acquired for over seven figures by Helix TCS .
I knew the cannabis industry was heavily regulated, but I didn't realize how much of a challenge it presents to potential founders until I heard Jennifer explain what she went through.
While it's an exciting and growing industry, entrepreneurs who decide to get into the Cannabis space have to be ready to face roadblocks around financing, taking payments and even simple things like moving product from one place to another.
Despite the difficulties, Jennifer was able to raise capital, build a team, and exit with equity in a newly publicly traded company. She worked at the acquiring company for two years, before she left so she could sell some of her shares.…

(EP6): Greg Smith Founder Of Canadian Tech Unicorn And TSX Listed Thinkific, How To Build SAAS Using MVPs
I am resurfacing my interview with Greg Smith, founder of Thinkific.com, a Vancouver based SAAS servicing course creators, because this year (2021) Thinkific did an IPO on the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) raising $160 Million.
As I type this, Thinkific has a market cap of $1.36 billion dollars, making it one of the rare Canadian tech unicorns.
Greg and his brother launched the company initially with a much more hands-on approach (it was more like an agency service to begin with), and then slowly built out a software service.
Today they offer a free and premium version of their platform, earning millions in recurring subscription revenue, employing over 70 full-time employees in Vancouver, all working to help people from around the world to deliver courses online. It All Started With Marbles…

(EP5): Chris Bakke Founder Of Interviewed Acquired By Indeed For $40-$50Mil, Early Zillow, RentJuice, Currently Laskie.com
Chris Bakke is currently founder of Laskie.com, a startup focused on becoming the Upwork for enterprise hiring.
Previously he was co-founder of Interviewed, which was acquired by Indeed for 'mid 8 figures' after just two and a half years.
Prior to this he worked as COO for 42Floors (acquired by Knotel) and RentJuice, which was acquired by Zillow, where Chris also worked for several years.
Chris in this interview explains his part in all these companies, first starting as an early employee in the real estate tech space, which led to his first exit, gaining shares in Zillow (he explains what he did with the shares during the episode).
After a couple of years at Zillow, Chris left to work for another real estate tech firm 42Floors, rising to become COO, and again enjoying an exit when Knotel bought the company.
Chris was then 'pushed' to become a founder himself, after his co-founders won a hackathon and several angel investors where throwing startup capital at them to back their rec…

(EP4): Jeff Ponchick Founder Of Repost Network, Sold To SoundCloud, How The Music Rights Industry Works Online
The world of music rights is a lot more confusing than I thought.
There are many stakeholders who are all supposed to get a share of the revenue from music used online - from labels, publishers, platforms, song writers and of course the artist who created the music.
Jeff Ponchick worked in the world of digital music and knew well all the paper work required to make music rights work.
He decided to start a company that attempted to digitize the music rights process, and thus make it a lot easier for artists to make money from their work.
Like many startup founders, Jeff first tested his idea with a not-so-scalable, very manual process -- working out all the details by hand, sending emails, making phone calls and filling out forms.
He did this for some test artists, who loved the service because it made it so much easier to get paid for their music no matter where it was being used online.
Jeff then brought on a technical partner, and they went to work to create the more scalab…

(EP3): Baird Hall Co-Founder Of ChurnKey, Wavve, ZubTitle, How The Wavve Acquisition Deal Got Done, Solving Internal Problems Leads To New Companies
In the previous episode of Vested Capital (EP2), we talked with David Horne and Marty Balkema, founders of Calm Capital. They had recently acquired the company Wavve.
On this episode, Baird Hall, one of the co-founders of Wavve, shares the other side of that acquisition, as the seller of Wavve.
Baird takes us back in time to the origin story of Wavve, how it was a spinoff company from their first business when they needed to create audio snippets for sharing on social media.
The spinoff companies continued when they needed to create captions for audio within Wavve, which led to the creation of ZubTitle, a company Baird co-founded with a different partner.
Both Wavve and ZubTitle grew to earn over $100,000 a month each - 7-figure companies.
ChurnKey, Baird's latest company that helps subscription businesses deal with churn, was created as a result of needing to solve the churn problems within Wavve and Zubtitle.
Baird, as you can probably tell, is amazing at using a need in one co…

Mark Asquith, otherwise known as the 'British Podcast Guy' is the founder of several podcast related companies, including Captivate.fm, a web hosting, analytics and distribution SAAS for podcasters.
Mark, like many entrepreneurs, got his start with an agency doing general web and media development services. Eventually this led to a spinoff podcast specific web design company, which Mark and his Co-Founder left the agency to focus on.
After entering the world of podcasting Mark never looked back, launching his own shows, attending conferences and building more support services for podcasters. He also has plans for a team engagement tool, which he recently patented and will be launching soon.
I wanted to speak to Mark because there is a difference between running an agency and building websites, to then diving into the world of SAAS and now also physical products.

(EP0): Why The Rebrand To 'Vested Capital' And How Yaro Has Built Capital In The Last 20 Years
Welcome to episode zero of Vested Capital.
Although the title may be new, the show is still hosted by me (Yaro) and will continue in a very similar style to what you are used to from The Yaro Podcast and before that, the Entrepreneurs Journey Podcast.
Why Vested Capital?
Vested Capital is about how to make money and then put that money to work to make more money -- in other words, how to vest your capital!
I'll still be doing interviews with entrepreneurs, but I'm going to expand the scope of the show a little to include anyone who is making and growing capital in unique and effective methods.
I'll be talking to startup founders, entrepreneurs who've enjoyed big exits, angel investors, venture capitalists, crypto leaders, tech stock traders, real estate investors -- all sharing how they made capital and put their capital to work.
Capital (money), as I explain in this episode zero, is an incredibly powerful force for change. Having capital gives you options, you can invest, start…
