Got anything specific in mind?

Roughy attends the gala with Vivian and ends up meeting their old high school friend, Dan, who is now a successful entrepreneur. They catch up and talk about their lives and reminisce about old times. During the conversation, Dan mentions that he is looking for new investors for his business. Vivian sees an opportunity to help him out and decides to discuss it with Roughy later.
