I'm definitely lucky to be sounded by, I think, when sounded by lots of other great founders. The company that I worked at previously, Libram, had a number of startups come out of it.

All of those founders of all the startups have been incredible kind of mentors to me and created this ecosystem through which, you know, being able to flourish and take risks and feel like I've had support during that process. So I would want to thank that ecosystem of founders that have come out of Librem. I think they're all really fantastic. My co-founder Simon has been absolutely amazing.

I think he's brought a side of thinking that I just don't have. He's been in investment before, he's done product at a variety of different companies. I think as he describes it, he's done a lot of different things, whereas I think I've always done engineering. I think definitely very grateful for him for having someone who is able to see all the decisions we may take at this stage of the company.

They seem like product decisions, but they're really product, team, marketing, sales all rolled up into one. And so being able to clearly articulate and disambiguate these decisions is really important. So I'm definitely super grateful for being able to work with him.

As engineers, we can get really kind of rabbit holes into the building side and the product and crafting an amazing product. And don't get me wrong, that is absolutely important. That's like core of what all these companies are. But I think it's super important to spend as much time actually talking to your users, understanding their problems. and what they need.

I think that's somewhat undervalued in the developer tooling world because a lot of us come from having faced the problems ourselves. So we sometimes feel we have the intuition and empathy for the developer problems. But at the end of the day, as you build, you're going to discover new things and you really want to invest in those customer relationships that will take you forward.

So yeah, talk to users, try to build relationships with them, meet them in person, spend time with them, go to meals with them. Speakeasy wouldn't have been here today if it wasn't for those early customers who have pushed us forward, vouched for us, have taken the risk and bets on us.
