And now you're competing against the big firms.
So you're in a whole different ballgame altogether.
So consistency and a right to win in seed, if you have those two elements, can actually keep you in the category of the consistent in those 20 firms.
Because if they're not small, they're going to start competing with the big firms.
And I will tell you,
We're not always right, but if I look at the last two decades, and you and I can debate this, how many firms in your mind have emerged as firms that can effectively, consistently, vintage after vintage, compete with the big firms?
Very few.
Really, very few have.
I mean, if you look at, you've got Founders Drive and Reason, those were started in the last two decades.
They've effectively competed really well, and they're in the top bracket.
And then you have some solo GPs that have done an incredible job and they have a right to win.
They've developed a brand and they can effectively compete with the big firms.
But outside of that, it's really hard.
Now, if you're a seed firm and you have a hundred million dollar fund, and you're focused on technical founders and AI, or you're focused on inception stage, co-founding of, we have a firm that's focused on energy, climate, and sure tech retail.
They essentially are such experts in those fields.
They're almost like co-founders.
They find the problem, the niche in the market, because they know the customer set, they know where the product market fit is.
They know the entrepreneurs and the operators well.
They almost co-found the companies together.
They have a right to win, and there's no adverse selection there.
