  1. “Yeah, exactly. Well, my wife stayed there for nine years. She got a PhD in operations research. So I was already like hanging out at MIT. So even after I graduated, I was running my company like basically out of the library and I would go audit classes. And her department was in the interdisciplinary area. Operations research is like statistics and logistics. And so there happened to be this other cool interdisciplinary program in her building. So I was like, I'm going to apply here. And I actually ran my second company while I was doing this degree and just still working in the library, that kind of thing.”

  2. “So, I was an undergrad in physics, and my wife there, she was undergrad in math. And then I started a company right out of school, actually graduated early.

  4. “So I grew up in Atlanta, which the closest thing I had to kind of the engineering world was Georgia Tech. And I went to like an engineering summer camp there. And I thought at an early age I wanted to be like a computer engineer. But I honestly had no knowledge of the different schools. So I think I had an irrational want to go to MIT that didn't really understand the landscape of the schools. But around in maybe freshman year of high school, I had my mindset for some reason on going to MIT.”

  5. “You don't need to track people to make money because it's all based on the contextual advertising. So the better user experience would be like not tracking anybody at all.”
