We're built to scalably deploy capital.
So what that means is on the early stage, we diligence the fund manager.
We don't have time.
You're right.
The timing doesn't work.
I can't diligence individual companies.
On later stage, we diligence two things.
One, we diligence the actual asset, right?
Like this is, again, important from a compliance perspective.
Like does the thing actually exist?
Like the legal structure, all of that we diligence quite a bit.
But beyond that, we have a blanket rule that we will only invest in a later stage asset as part of a priced round by an institutional lead where we're not going to set the price.
We're not going to set the terms.
So within that, we sort of control for it a little bit.
We do our own diligence, like we'll look at customer interviews and all of that stuff, but we don't have the resources to go deep on it.
So we have these guardrails where we basically, I can't go in and lead a series C or series D or whatever.
Totally.
And again, totally.
It's more a case of like...
We have to build a fund that can scalably deploy, you know, eventually, hopefully billions of dollars of capital.
