He had a great time. During our walk on the course, I found out that he is a Michigan grad. Originally from Morocco. He met his wife on the plane from Morocco to the United States. Both of them were going to Michigan. We found out that his partner at bat ventures, which is a 3+ billion dollar fund is currently working with Solink so we were able to connect the dots there. We also found that Crunchtime was doing business with one of the other guests all in all this made for a great combination of guest having a vertically specific group.
