It's very different, though, when we think about international prioritization compared to maybe other VC firms, because the typical VC firm was that, you know, Ben, you've talked about this before, like the typical way that other VC firms have done international have always been investment driven versus actually thinking about the portfolio companies and what they would like to do internationally.
So maybe speak a little bit more about that contrast.
And quite frankly, why for the first 10 years of the firm, it was very rare we even did an international deal outside of not just the U.S., but even outside of the Silicon
Valley.
And also, so much of the time, when you think about these entrepreneurial ecosystems, what they're oftentimes missing is growth capital.
They actually have a great talent base on the early stage side, but they're kind of missing that component to actually go global, and they've become a localized success versus actually thinking about global ambitions.
Maybe that actually, drawing from your experience at VMware, Raghu, thinking about the evolution of company building, how has that kind of particularly changed in the ambition for local companies to become global over time?
Yeah, yeah.
And then by spending time locally as well, we get to know the local ecosystem and then see the great entrepreneurs from those regions and then to the extent to which it makes sense, actually fund those and then help them go international leveraging our network as well.
For sure, for sure.
Maybe speak a little bit more about the prior tech cycles of adoption and particularly with AI.
Anne, this is a great question for you.
There's so many nuances around security and even the debate between open versus closed that there are considerations of whether that's even viable to build without upsetting the apple cart on what is allowed with open source given the security nuances.
Maybe speak a little bit more about how you've been thinking about that and advising companies on that delicate balance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As our partner Mark often says, technology is the dog that caught the bus.
And we've never seen before that countries are, you know, kind of feverishly demanding the latest versions of the model because they recognize how competitive it is to their economy, to their people, to their interests.
And this now is unlocking all sorts of new paradigms as we think about globalization in a way that feels categorically different than just selling product internationally, right?
And this is hopefully then an opportunity for many of our founders as well.
