He had contacted me after seeing our startup featured in TWiST.&lt;p&gt;He was a smart, genuine guy that really cared about helping us. From what I&apos;d picked up he was a close friend to Elon Musk and had backed him @ zip2, paypal, tesla and space x.&lt;p&gt;He gave us some great advice, and took a lot of time out to make intro&apos;s and give us feedback.</text></comment>

Important and early roles are held by many, the title founder is tricky and often contested. What&apos;s worse the media usually has incentive to make everybody in to a &apos;founder&apos;.</text></comment>
