Jon and Murali first met in their middle school cafeteria and have been friends ever since. They share a mutual love of frisbee and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, to the disdain of their peers.

Nick was the first residence hall-mate Murali met at UVA, and their friendship spanned all four years of college. Murali has forcibly maintained said friendship since Nick is a lawyer and everyone needs a lawyer-friend in their back-pocket.

Brett and Murali's friendship started as members of UVA's Housing and Residence Life program. They visited wineries, worked on case competitions and played weekly trivia, unfortunately sometimes all in the same day.

Nico and Murali met in middle school, though Nico deliberately doesn't remember because he was in a much cooler circle of people. They spend their time listening to Murali talk trash about Call of Duty and subsequently losing.

Robert and Murali met in high school, and have disagreed on everything since. They somehow have civil conversations (bordering on friendly) though Murali's constant hostility makes this difficult.

Sangeeth and Murali met early in their professional careers via a mutual love of Excel spreadsheets. To their surprise, they share the same parents and childhood home.
