One thing I didn't know was how tightly connected everyone is in the Valley. We'll meet someone, and then we'll meet someone who I would never expect to even know that person, and they'll say, "I heard you met Tony last week." It's such a small industry, and so much business is done through the network circuit, which is kind of upsetting, because I'd rather the good companies get the good deals and the bad ones don't get deals at all. Instead, it's more like, "Who do you know?"
