Well, we all got to talking the other day after class. We couldn't figure out if you were, like, a TA or why you were giving us assignments, but we all agreed we didn't like the way that you were speaking to Professor Bighetti.
I'm used to it.
So we searched your name on PitchBook, and that SeeFood app you got funded at Raviga popped up.
PitchBook? How do you have access to PitchBook?
Your idea was so simple. It was like something you could come up with in the room during a meeting. Which is what Garrett from Coleman Blair told us at the CS undergrad mixer on Friday.
Hey, Erlich. Here I am. Class of '06. Go Cardinal.
Go Cardinal!
Anyways, we founded our own Shazam-for-food company, and he's funding us.
Mm-hmm.
Whoa, congrats! [beat] Wait, that's stealing.
No. It's exactly what Mark Zuckerberg did to the Winklevii in that Facebook movie Professor Bighetti had us watch. And he was the hero of that film. And with all of us working together, we'll easily beat you to market.
So, that's how it goes, huh? Hmm? You steal a man's idea, rendering his company worthless? I've read a number of disparaging articles about your generation in The Atlantic and Slate.com summaries. It's all true.
