00:00 - 00:05So I put real money into At-Bay
00:05 - 00:07At the $1.35 billion valuation
00:07 - 00:10Rotem looked me in the eyes
00:11 - 00:16And said this was the future
00:17 - 00:21Cyber insurance...explosive growth
00:21 - 00:24Zero rates...pure sugar rush
00:29 - 00:31We're all gonna print
00:31 - 00:34Then the "macro environment" happened
00:38 - 00:40Rates, drought, ocean waves, Russians
00:41 - 00:47Everyone's fault except his own
00:47 - 00:50And now we're selling for $575 million
00:50 - 00:56Half. Less than half.
00:58 - 00:59But wait...
00:59 - 01:01Rotem says "all investors made money"
01:04 - 01:06"We care very much about our investors"
01:06 - 01:08"An additional $300m came in"
01:13 - 01:14"We built a real company"
01:14 - 01:16Huge success apparently
01:16 - 01:20Two months later...
01:21 - 01:27Same guy...
01:35 - 01:36"As for anyone wanting to dwell on how much a 2021 investor lost...
01:36 - 01:39That's beyond me"
01:41 - 01:44Beyond him
01:44 - 01:47The man took my money at $1.35 billion
01:47 - 01:49Now thinks my loss is a personal boundary issue
01:50 - 01:53First he's a farmer
01:54 - 01:56"Entrepreneurship is like farming"
01:56 - 01:58"You need rain"
01:58 - 02:02Bro I WAS the rain
02:05 - 02:07Then suddenly he's a sailor
02:10 - 02:11"You're building a ship but you can't control the ocean"
02:11 - 02:13So which one is it Rotem
02:15 - 02:17Are you a farmer or a sailor
02:17 - 02:20Because your business just sank
02:21 - 02:28And somehow it's still the weather's fault
02:29 - 02:30Generational level cope
02:30 - 02:32From "everyone made money"
02:36 - 02:39To "please stop talking about it"
02:40 - 02:42In two months
02:50 - 02:55The farmer-sailor sold the farm-boat
02:56 - 02:58Blamed the weather and the waves
02:58 - 03:04Told the investors to stop crying
03:04 - 03:09And still called it a success
03:09 - 03:11Next time I'm skipping the visionary
03:16 - 03:20Who blames the entire planet
03:23 - 03:26And just buying Munich Re stock
03:31 - 03:36So I can own the company that bought the guy who blamed the Russians
