I remember interviewing for Teleport (video dating company based out of Canada. Toronto, IIRC but dont quote me).

The CEO/co-founder cold emailed me like "hey you worked in porn. that's dope let's talk". And I'm like "hell yeah let's do it" (it's biblically rare that I interview for people actively *interested* in interviewing past adult entertainment industry employees).

So we talk for about a couple weeks. I Zoom with him and the other co-founder.

Turns out I wasnt the right fit because I "didn't have experience leading large teams". Great engineer according to him, but that was the deal-breaker.

THE COMPANY WAS 3 PEOPLE.
