There's risk.

Alex, last thing I want to touch on before we wrap up.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

A lot of founders, they don't understand the concept of secondaries, but I like it.

It removes risk from the business, allows you to double down and go for a $10 billion sort of thing and build something bigger.

How have you and your Blake thought about secondaries and even for your early employees?

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But I will say as a whole, I think the secondaries, I agree with you.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Secondaries done right can give motivation, which allows early founders and early employees to.

to keep going as opposed to, you know, stop, right?
