We weren't actually working on the same thing. We both believed eBay was vulnerable and ready for someone to come and displace them. We were focusing on improving the seller experience and Patrick was focused on improving the buyer experience. The two ideas were very complimentary and fitted together perfectly.

We met up in London and got on tremendously well, it was surprising just how similar our opinions about eBay were so we decided to merge and work together. Everything was completely equal - Patrick, Kul and I all had equal equity and co-founder status.
