# DG:
Dheeban Govindarajan

had a good relationship with Magic founders
came from Stripe, willing to work at a smaller company
Building Magic, we all want to see Web3 succeed, I want to build a web3 mobile startup, does not compete with Startup

13 months, start company
was a mobile wallet that went through YC, co-founder
Joined Magic 18th employee as Seed stage company

2021 - grew from 10 to 30 people, Magic was about auth
Focus: what's the story/narrative for Formatic
Magic Connect
Magic to create mobile - doesn't immediately need it

User first

Takeaway:
1. personable, trust, bigger than a job
2. passion in meeting
