   From the transcript

   Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, everyone, from all over the world. I'm very excited to be here today. I think there's never been a better time to be a cloud entrepreneur in Europe. It reminds me of ten years ago when I was in Silicon Valley and saw the births of so many great cloud companies.

   Daniel, thank you so much for being here today, and congratulations again on the success of UiPath — it's truly an inspirational story. Just before we dive into the story of the company, tell us a bit more about your personal journey from communism to coding and entrepreneurship. Well, from there the company had incredible growth. One thing I found remarkable in the UiPath journey was your ability to do things that a lot of people think are not doable. I remember in 2017, right after Accel inves…

   All right, good morning, Thank you, Ryan, for being here today. Last year you made number 12 on Fortune's 40 Under 40 list.

   Partner, Accel Partners (at the time of the talk)

   From the transcript

   The impact. When you build a company that genuinely changes how an industry works, you see it happening in real time. You see customers whose lives or businesses are transformed by what you built. That direct feedback loop between creation and impact is something investors experience only once removed. I'd add a third characteristic: they were genuinely global from very early.
