So I think having these guardrails is very, very helpful.
And we can be very innovative in, you know, the art of the deal.
Like, for instance, if we have a thesis on a company by buying out LP stakes, by doing all these innovative things, we can potentially win on access and we can win on sort of how we get into deals.
That makes sense.
What do you think the biggest risk is for somebody investing in something like USVC?
So generally, like I had so many friends text me, should I invest in US VC?
What I first told them is don't and only invest if a few things are true.
One, this is money you don't need access to for a long time.
Like, yes, there's potentially quarterly liquidity and stuff.
But my general thesis with private markets is
Like, don't do it unless you can afford it, right?
Like, make sure you're kind of contributing to your tax advantage accounts.
Make sure you're maxing, like, max out your, you know, get your 401k match, do your Roth IRA, contribute to your HSA, index the market, like, do all of those things.
If you have leftover dollars that you don't need access to for a while and kind of want the chance at asymmetric upside, only then invest in USBC.
So...
I first try to talk people out of investing in private markets.
And if they still want to, is when I tell them, you know, USVC could be a fit.
So to quickly recap for anyone who doesn't know, QSBS is like honestly the biggest tax break in America.
You can invest in a new C Corp today, get up to $15 million in zero taxes when the company sells.
The good news is because there's pass-through taxation on USVC, the end investor is eligible for QSBS.
