They now have about 13, 14 years of data.
And the data clearly shows that the investors on the platform that have a high sample size of deals, most of their IRR congregates anywhere from 12, 15, 20%.
No, no, sorry.
Their IRR, their average rate of return across the entire time averages, yeah, 12%, 15%, somewhere in that range, 20% for the better people.
But if you look at the individuals, it's a crapshoot, right?
Like there's a lot of people, if you invest in five deals, they can all go to zero, right?
So it is a very different asset class in that if you invest in the S&P, it's not going to go to zero.
But if you invest in three companies, there's a very good chance they could all go to zero.
If you invest in 300 companies and they're selected relatively well, it's not going to go to zero and you're likely to have a very good IRR.
Totally.
An index approach while trying to be careful of avoiding sort of, let's call it the worst set of companies, right?
So it's a two-tier strategy.
What we do for early stage companies is I can't pick early stage companies.
There's too many of them in the world.
So there I will pick who I believe to be the best early stage fund managers.
They are my brains for anything early stage.
Later stage, I think you can start formulating a viewpoint on individual companies.
So later stage, we'll buy individual companies, we'll be innovative in structure, we'll buy out LP stakes from fund investors.
There's a lot of things we can do once we have a stance on a specific company, but that won't be till later on.
Yeah, so it's a very innovative structure.
