I love Simon because he’s a cool dude and he let me invest.

I hate him because he makes me and every other CEO look like we’re spending money like MC Hammer.

the only person who has possibly put me to work more than @Sirupsen is @acv (and both just as bashful when it comes to talking about progress)
