to partner with Arukana?
Is it a two-way interest or is it more kind of pushing on a string?
So that's really critical for us.
We love working with founders and entrepreneurs.
We don't have as much interest in just kind of being a silent partner on the capital stack.
If they're just looking for a check and say, write me a check and we'll talk to you in five years or send you maybe an annual report, that's just not really the type of relationship we're looking for.
Yeah, that's a great question and point.
And I recognize the company's, the nomenclature of financing rounds.
You could have raised a seed round actually from a fund, and that might be actually your first institutional partner.
And there are some very active seed stage investors in our industries and our categories in terms of food and beverage, personal care.
So we're not opposed to that, but we many times find that the round we invest in might be the first one where
category or industry specific VC firm, right, is looking to lead that round and partner.
Whereas in the past, it might have been industry agnostic firm, or also you talked about friends and family.
And it goes back to like, what do you call that friends and family?
Is it a friend and family round?
Is it was actually your seed round?
Was it a safe note?
Was it a convertible note?
So I guess we really look, that series A, it should be somewhere in a five to $10 million raise.
And we're looking to write initial check of a million to a million and a half.
