Alex (the OpenRouter founder) and I went for walks to Sightglass coffee on Divisadero St during our weekly office hours @ HF0 in the Fall of '23.

On one walk I asked 'why are you doing another startup?'

For context, his last one, OpenSea, was valued well into the billions, so it wasn't for money.

His reply: "I just love solving all the puzzles."

It's incredibly hard to compete with someone who is playing the game for the love of the game.

Kudos on playing well, Alex.
