“I actually started back at Ernst and Young, right? It was my first real job out of college and went right into tax credits and incentives. So yeah, for sure, we started way back in the early two thousand period. And so this is now all coming to light with technology.”
“We were always profitable from day one, so we never really thought about raising beyond Mucker's first investment.”
“I wish I had taken more risks. Mean, I started with Ernst and Young, was there for fourteen years. And by all accounts, I thought I was gonna be a historian there or a lifer.
