They came up with the idea of starting a company. Then they started building a product and as an addition, started looking for funding and began appointing more people.

They install a firewall on their internet which prohibited them to dial their personal email accounts. Then they came up with the idea that they can access to the website with the use of a web browser.

They go to Tim Draper and liked the thought so he agreed about the funding. Then they had a negotiation.
