Some highlights from our call:
“One of the things that sort of gave me and my co-founders—it's this understanding that even if you know nothing about an industry, you can learn. That's the advantage— you know nothing about the industry, which means you don't have limitations, like the mindset that something's not possible. That's the diamond in the industry.” -Litan Yahav
