I will say the thing I'm proud about the show, I think, is that through a lot of the trials and tribulations shown, you can be friends, disagree, learn from each other, and have a vibrant debate, which is how we all grew up.

I was in both their offices next week and also, Mark Cuban—because I think when we sold, we turned his $150,000 into $5 or $6 million so he said, put me down for a million or whatever you want, Jason.

The only reason we've had people pick us over Y Combinator and people pick Y Combinator over us or go to Y Combinator then come to us. We're really the only, I think, accelerator, who can say that.
