company at scale with a good business model.

And again, that's, you know, it's a B2C model rather than a selling to schools.

And we had one founder recently who was completely obsessed with the space.

And the first iteration of the idea was kind of okay.

But over the last 12 months, he's turned it into something super, super interesting and something that I would never have guessed.

You know, from the first time that we met him and started working with him, I would not have guessed that he would get to where he is today.

But again, that's why we invest in the people, not the ideas, because he is fantastic.

He's such an exceptional individual, such an exceptional team.

And it's that level of customer obsession and biased action that meant he was able to get to an idea that actually now I think is going to be huge.

They are three and five.

You know, it is going to change, but the...

school system in any country is going to take a long, long time to change.

Um, so yeah, I think the kind of direct to consumer model, um, for, uh, ed tech is interesting and we will see big change in the next couple of years.

Um, but I think to actually change the school system, it's going to take a while.

There's a lot of legacy, a lot of legacy people, infrastructure beliefs that are going to take a while to shift.

Magic number is two.

So yeah, there are a bunch of examples of large co-founding teams, but it's typically where people have known each other for a long time.

If you are co-founding with someone who is a stranger, our strong recommendation is a team of two.

Everyone wants to be in a team of three.

My push on that would be it radically increases relationship complexity.
