I was just of engineer in Silicon Valley. I've been in the search space for maybe in the past 20 years. There's a field of search becoming more and more important and exciting, which is the real time search aspect of it. Eso as I changed jobs from lengthened into a twitter like it to work on this, uh, this project, this idea and then just got really interested into the into the space of a log management and ah, observe, ability, software s. So that's why I started the company dash race.

when I first started wasn't meant to be a project. I started just by, you know, taking a break from work, making sure my skills are still sharp by just writing down coating something. I'm interested. So those weeks are very, very fun. When you started creating things, it's very fun. Um, about nine months into it, there seemed to be something there, so we decided to ah, maybe go get on venture funding and maybe see if I could make something out of it.

So these are essentially learnings throughout the process of starting a company. Eso starting company basically, and even the way they invest is really about the team. That's the most important part of start going and start up. Um, so the team has to be of people who all believe in that idea who have our passion about this idea. Uh, they they all have skill sets that compliment yours. So, for example, we have my co founder. He's in a product management. He's, um, or the business side, where I like very much. We hire people who are engineers were really good with customers. We have engineers were really good at doing develops type of stuff. So you want to identify areas of extreme expertise this this confidence missing and feel that very well, you gotta have pop touch people. And most of all, uh, start up people. Um, so one way you can find a great candidate if they're packed. If you're competing on offer and I'm thinking about, you know, measured, quantified, the often number from startups, bridges, bigger companies. These kind of people intend to not work out startups because they're just not in the right risk profile. So building team is probably the most important thing when you start a companydoing startup. It's hard. It's really about making sure that balances air there. Um, when people join you on the journey, they are. They all expect to, um, they'll expect Teoh. You know you'll be successful right on this journey. So any time you run into challenges or any time you could pivot idea, it's a big risk. It can. You know, it's a big change for the company. So specifically when we will start building dash base, we're building a very generic pool with her engineers. They love working on big generic tools, big projects, but that's not the right night ready thing of doing while doing start up. You want to find a very, very specific Nishi thing. You can solve and sell it very well. So when we realized that when we kind of pivot toward that to that practice, we have, you know, the interesting no longer line with some engineers so that there was return. So these sort of things we have to kind of watch out for are the people who are really in it for, you know, for the money or the afford the foot idea. Are the images to work with you or not that those are very important aspects
