Original Text
So I started a PhD, and I actually fell in love with one of these materials from nature. And it's this -- it's spider silk. It's this fine, elegant, tough fiber that spiders make. You've probably seen a Spider-Man movie, you know. You may have wanted to make Peter Parker's web slinger. It's OK -- I did, too; it's badass. I wanted to recreate that material in a lab, so I started a company, and we did just that. And the very first product we made was this: a tie. I took the very first tie, and I sent it to Stan Lee himself, cocreator of Spider-Man, idol to nerds around the planet, all-around amazing human. And he loved it. He actually cold-called my phone from a blocked number, and we geeked out over the technology.
