And then we have a bunch of individuals actually who are very well placed in the enterprise space.
So a number of successful founders of companies that have had good exits and then senior executives at pretty much any enterprise company you can think of.
So a lot of those folks have skin in the game and they're also a very helpful source for our founder community.
helping them navigate to product, market, freedom, and beyond.
So yeah, it's a combination of institutions, which has a lot more reckoning and long-term and good support pillars for us.
And then individuals who bring a lot of operating expertise with them.
I would say, you know, I don't know if that has a very meaningful impact on the founder directly.
What could matter to founders is the fund being around and being prominent over time or not.
So if the fund, let's say, invests in your company and then it just shuts down six months later or something like that, that's probably the worst case scenario or one of the bad case scenarios.
So I'd say as long as there's...
Yeah, I think this is the same question that you asked.
I think that's, yeah, some founders ask us, and I think that's a good question to ask.
Who are your LPs and how do you see the future of the firm and things like that?
I think that's probably relevant and a good question to ask and understand.
And also, I think founders often...
You know, when we invest, often also speak with other founders that we are investors in, for example.
So I encourage founders to do that.
But, you know, any fund they're looking to work with, just reach out to your networks, to other founders that the firm has invested in.
And over time, you know, those existing founders would probably have a sense as well of how the firm is doing and which way they're headed and how helpful they are.
I think that's great.
