That team and better product and maybe even a bigger industry, because it's harder, will give you more capital coming at you for disposal to be able to make the right investments you need and the right equipment or people or personnel or whatever marketing to basically make you more successful.
Then you're generally working inside of bigger addressable markets like TAMs that potential acquirers or public markets or other folks really want to see and have basically a disproportionate outcome.
They want a high risk-reward.
Investors and things, and even people, they want to go in and if it works, they want 100x or 1,000x.
They don't want a 2x.
And generally for venture, like 90, 95% of people fail.
So if it works, you really want to go, you want to hit a grand slam.
So I think my philosophy is like spin, like choose wisely, like a young brat, choose wisely what you work on, young entrepreneurs.
And then I would try to be as ambitious as possible.
There's capital for that and there's humans for that that want to work at really crazy shit.
We have them at my companies and they're incredible.
You met some of them today.
They're just like my design lead and a bunch of other folks here that are just unbelievable at what they do.
They're the best in the world at what they do.
But they want to come here and they want to try to do something that's never been done before.
They don't want to go off and design the next car or do the next AI product everybody else is doing.
They want to be here designing something revolutionary.
So I think that's like...
Some of you don't stress enough.
And I think the last thing is like, there's no rule book for this, which is like really unfair.
