What gives you the idea that he loved the idea and/or something he'd fund?

If you watch the video, I think it's clear that he loved the idea, although he never really said if he'd fund it.

From the video it seems like he found a suitable pivot for them, that's about it, the rest are assumptions.
Am interested to hear some other people's experiences, to see how often it happens etc. lessons learned etc.
(EDIT: and to be honest, there's about 1% of me that does take it personally, in that he loved the idea, but perhaps he wasn't sold that we were the ones to do it)
