Or one of my good friends is this guy, Mickey Malka at Ribbit.
I was lucky to be an investor in his fund one personally.
And it's like, that was like a 55x fund on, I think it was like an $85 million fund, but 55x, like that's insane.
But, you know, at some point you can ask Mickey this too.
It's like, you're better off with like a 5x on like a very, very large fund.
Like the harder thing to do is to just return gross dollars, period.
Like that's what LPs actually want.
It's amazing to get a hundred.
I've had two funds that I've invested in.
One is Mickey.
This other one is this fund called AngelPad, which was kind of like a third rate competitor.
I don't want to call it third rate, but it was like, it was not, you know, there was Y Combinator and then it's like, there was AngelPad.
It was just like this small little experiment.
That was 120X.
I got 120 times the capital that I get.

How big was the fund?
I think it was $8 million.
But this is the thing.
