They're not going to be many that are going to get you to that three to five trillion.
So it goes back to the same dispersion of returns at the company level.
No, I don't.
I don't disagree because there's definitely persistence.
think it depends on which pocket of the market you plan so persistent is much harder in pre-seed seed than it is and i would say maybe the larger bracket firms so pick your top 5 10 sandhill firms there is significant persistence in returns for those firms because of the brand that they have the brand
is an output from the returns they've generated in the past and the outcomes they've had through IPOs and M&A events.
And those outputs then lead you to the next generation of entrepreneurs wanting to work with you, having the reputation then to come in and lead their rounds.
See it as much harder because a lot of the times, if you're an inception check in a company,
the company is not known yet.
Whether it's a good company or it's not a good company, you're taking significant founder, team, product, market risk.
Today, you're taking a lot less of that at the Series A and the Series B. Companies have revenues.
They're raising bigger rounds.
The entrepreneurs have shown some traction.
There is enough semblance of product-market fit.
But at the pre-seed-seed,
Persistence is much harder because the level of risk you're taking at the time you're investing is very different.
To give you more specificity, those 20 firms that we talked about over the last 21, 22 years, a lot of those are not seed funds.
A lot of those are the bigger firms.
The flywheel effect continues.
Exactly.
