Quotes from the show:
“It was probably the most frictionless, the least painful process that I've ever been in... You invest so much time into the applications or getting references. You pretty much have to like give them a vial of blood and a DNA sample before you get access to funding. But with The Doonie Fund, it was like, 'Hey, I believe in you.'
