Tomaz, with without gassing yourself up, how valuable is kind of the median VC?
voice-verified
What everyone this is a completely innocuous question.
voice-verified
Stop laughing.
voice-verified
What is the what is the value add of the median VC that a that a founder in a hot company might be able to access?
voice-verified
So not your median VC, period.
voice-verified
Like you know, people at the more elite firms and so forth.
voice-verified
How helpful are they really?
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
I mean you can always notice when a company's gonna go public because they've had fidelity on their capital for twenty four months.
voice-verified
And then shockingly enough, they file.
voice-verified
I mean
voice-verified
Who could have seen that coming?
voice-verified
Uh, I'm actually glad you said that, Tomas, because I think it's actually a good point.
voice-verified
I think people get a little bit too
voice-verified
Productionists in their thinking about VCs and reduce the job to just capital allocation and then shutting up.
voice-verified
But I I do think that a lot of founders co into this game, not as a repeat founder.
voice-verified
They haven't done this dance before.
voice-verified
They haven't taken a company through acquisition offers, dealing with board composition and so forth.
voice-verified
And so I think having a bestie that's done this before with you makes a lot of sense.
voice-verified
But that doesn't mean you need five of them, I don't think.
