Ben Ornstein: Busy, busy but good. Yeah, how about you? I can’t even imagine. Lawrence (Ambient.us): Probably crazy for you guys. Yeah, we’re having a record, record everything month. So that’s, that’s good. Ben Ornstein: But yeah, it’s pretty busy. Ben Ornstein: So what did you want to do today? So this call is going to be about doing a case study in about fundraising for founders. Lawrence (Ambient.us): OK. Yeah, sounds good. Ben Ornstein: Cool. OK. You’ll get a chance to review it before it goes live as well. Lawrence (Ambient.us): So my name is Lawrence. I live in San Francisco. I’m a longtime founder. I’m working on a company called Ambient. Lawrence (Ambient.us): Oh man, Ben, sorry, man. So we’re, this is a off interview. We’re in the middle of process right now. And we were a pivot. So it’s dicey with kind of the fundraising history, like we have a long cap table. So I actually think I have to kick this out. Ben Ornstein: They’ve pushed it if they’re in the middle of a fundraiser. So yeah, no problem at all. Lawrence (Ambient.us): Okay. Yeah, hopefully very soon I’ll be able to tell you the story of the fundraise and we can do that. Ben Ornstein: Sounds good. All right. Well, best of luck on that closing. We’ll chat soon then.
