Yeah, I actually have on some Zoom calls been listening to Spotify in the background on my headphones, but it makes the video calls so much better. That's so just like low in the background you've got Spotify going. That's amazing. It's like nice of you to join me in the club for our meeting. Really smart.

Welcome to season seven, episode three of Acquired. the podcast about great technology companies and the stories and playbooks behind them. I'm Ben Gilbert. I'm David Rosenthal. And we are your hosts. Now, for everyone new to the show and for everyone who's been with us for a while, it's been a while since we introduced ourselves, so uh we wanted to tell you a little bit about who we are. I am the co-founder of Pioneer Square Labs in Seattle. We are a startup studio and early stage venture fund, and uh my background is primarily in founding companies and product management.

And I have been a long time venture capitalist. I'm currently a independent Angel investor and advisor to startups based in San Francisco. So I come at things from the Venture and investing side. Most importantly, we are excited to be with you today as peers and practitioners in the industry diving into stories that I think we all talk about at the water cooler when that was a thing. The zoom cooler.
