Oh yeah, Jayden was telling me about this.

Yeah, it's cool.

That's what I mean, yeah.

Yeah, he's so impressive.

But look, there are other founders who have specialists in their domain, like the Clutch guys I mentioned, who are deep technologists and know how to apply to product like CREA or the Happy Robot team.

So there's just so much to learn from all these individuals.

And I know it sounds trite, but I'm privileged to work with them.

They're amazing, man.

Please don't tell me you passed on that at the seed too.

I never met them.

Thank God.

They're wonderful.

Incredible technologists, really earnest people, and they're seeing a ton of success.

If there's a mistake that I've made, it's been being a bit too casual about product market fit.

And this was more of a 2021 mistake, which is assuming something had product market fit and perhaps it didn't.

And perhaps the founder had a super credible theory, which, by the way, matched my theory for why it would get to product market fit.

But as I said, it's easy to overestimate the sort of path from zero to one.

And I'd say if there was a sort of mistake I made, it was, you know, not being intellectually honest about is this actually working or do I think it will work in the near future?

Now, look, I've done a bunch of seed investing and I've made the bet.

And I think if you're intellectually honest and sort of clear sighted about a belief that it will work, then that's a fine way to invest.
