“I met Greg Brockman, my co-founder of OpenAI, because I was a very early investor in Stripe. When I was like 22 or something... they said, you know, we're trying to close our first hire. Will you like drive down to Palo Alto tonight and have dinner with this guy to convince him he should like drop out of school and join Stripe? Which is Greg Brockman. And then like eight years later, we started a company together”
