It depends obviously on the specific platform, but the more non-dilutive funding that a company can get, I think that can be a good source as long as the founders understand in case it's a loan or something, what's the payback period and

Is the company going to be profitable or have resources enough to pay back at that time?

But outside of that, it makes a ton of sense.

And also, I'd say venture capital is not for everyone.

I'd say, in fact, for a very small percentage of founders and companies, I'd say a lot of SaaS can be built without venture capital and should be built without venture capital.

So someone could build a $30, $50, $100 million worth company and own maybe 80%, 90% of it between the founder group or more.

And then when it's about efficiency, they've really moved the needle very fast on that.

I'd say it has to be chat GPD right now.

I think any sector, new sector or understanding, of course, the information on it is outdated, but there's a lot of other elements out there now.

But that's a really useful tool to get started on researching something.

Number four, how many hours of sleep do you get every night?

I try and aim for six and a half to seven, at least.
