[00:15:08] S9: were a child. I would say the number one most important thing is actually to never give up. The thing that separates successful founders or successful companies, I really do think is just never giving up. The second most important thing is to be brutally honest about the business. Are you really solving a painful customer problem? Make sure that your business can actually make sense and be really honest about it, right? If your plan is to start a company and it'll be free until you figure out how to make money, that is a terrible plan. Finally to tie all that together in terms of pivoting, would say you can very clearly see those fundamentals are not strong. Still don't give up, but be very willing to really fundamentally shift the focus of the business and don't be afraid to solve the global problem. Who had built clearly successful world class businesses invested in Partly. Dylan Field from Figma, Akshay from Notion, these are all people that have actually helped us along our journey. I say that's a lesson learned because this is something that Dylan told me that everyone has told me. Don't sacrifice the quality of the team. It's much better to take long time to hire than it is to hire someone who lowers the bar of the team overall. And a great team with a very, very clear mission is pretty hard to beat. [00:16:26] S8: Now is when I feel the momentum is as fast as it's ever been. Like, I think that the speed of growth has only ever gotten faster. So like with every day, for me, it feels like we've gained more momentum.

So like with every day, for me, it feels like we've gained more momentum. [00:16:39] S9: To me, I don't care much, to be honest. You know, like it's a it's a great title, fastest growing, but the reality is it all comes down to how we execute. None of this will matter in five years, right? What will matter in five years is have we built solid business foundations? Today we have we have an office in London, we're powering eBay. Planning to scale, we will be spending a lot more of our time in Europe. The structure of the business already lets us scale fairly well. [00:17:04] S8: I don't think every entrepreneur needs to be solving a global problem. However, in my experience, solving the big hairy audacious problem is almost the same level of difficulty as small localized problem. If I'm going to put all of my energy, all of my effort, all of my thought and time into solving problem, I'm gonna put that into the big global problem as opposed to a localized problem.

[00:17:29] S9: The dream for Partly would be to achieve three things. Number one, it would be create value. This is not zero sum. This is to create value for everyone, to make things considerably easy for everyone in the industry. Number two, build a valuable business, right? Create commercial value for everyone in the business. And then number three, it would be to do a lot of good generally. As a company, we're extremely focused on impact and so we'll use that in ways that drives the most impact. But yeah, think that would be the dream in the long run doing those those three things.
