FYI: I don't own stock in Rippling and they didn't pay me to make this video. No money changed hands. This is one of the greatest comeback stories in Silicon Valley history and I was excited to be able to tell it here on the channel after meeting at a CEO summit earlier this year. We both have a connection to Founders Fund (I'm an entrepreneur in residence there and Parker raised money from Founders Fund a few years ago).

ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
I am an entrepreneurinresidence at Founders fund and the cofounder of http://soylent.com and http://lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
I've been an entrepreneur for the last decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in funding.
I work mostly in techenabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible
