I work at another company in the building in question. Several of my coworkers have been in the elevator at the same time he has.

I can't wait to get my chance so I can ask him if computers are going to be chewy in the future.

You know, it's a perfect time for an elevator pitch too ;)

There's no way I could bring myself to do that. Between that, "My grandson is SO SMART he built his own computer from SCRATCH! You should hire him!" and "My niece is having open heart surgery and my cousin just lost her job" stories, I refuse to believe he doesn't take medicine to keep from falling asleep when people talk about spending his money.

Alternate answer: it might be nice to hear someone's pitch who isn't full of shit.

Best case: Funded with tons of money. Worst case: Someone who isn't going to give you tons of money is annoyed for thirty seconds.
