five, six, seven deals per year throughout this fund.

And that's what we have done in the last six months.

We've done three deals as well.

And last year we did six deals.

So we've been right on pace.

And 2021 was about the same as well.

So we haven't, you know, when the market is hot, we didn't really ratchet it up too much.

And then

in what is perceived to be a slower market, but I see that it's a pretty thriving market.

We've been maintaining a pace.

It's really about how often we meet really high quality entrepreneurs.

We see about 600 to 1,000 deals a year.

So we invest in about 1% of those.

So whenever we see a great founder, we're going to be able to invest.

Yeah, I'd say the six to thousand, of course, that includes a superset of everything that passes our desk.

I'd say we probably spend a meaningful time with 100 to 200 of those where we take a call and do some research and do some thinking on it and more.

So, but yeah, I'd say deal scene is a wide term, which includes things coming in from a number of sources.

I'd say the best ones are usually from a common connection.

Often, you know, folks have their, you know, either prior bosses or colleagues or folks I work with that would know us and they would send us, you know, the mutual connect would often send us a warm intro.

But yeah, we are very happy to receive cold email as well.
