I wonder if Sam misses this version of himself. I don't see the exuberance in his eyes like this anymore, which, in itself is sad.
This is Sam Altman at 25 years old, pitching Loopt to a person in a diner
It’s strange to watch now because he runs one of the most influential companies in the world
The app was a location-sharing app but nobody thinks about it when they think of Sam
It got me wondering how many founders are probably in their Loopt era rn?
The company they’re working on may not be the one they become known for
It might just be the company that teaches them how to sell, hire, raise money, and keep going long enough to find "it"
But at the time, it looks like a kid trying to explain a weird location app to a stranger over lunch
