May not be intended, but that signal will be received when you're trying to recruit people.
i mean i'll take this one up until this point for 30 years it's been me so i have a team that handles the recruiting i handle all the board work all the consulting work and and we're i think i have seven companies in the portfolio i can't take on anymore the reason i was so excited to bring chris on a is because he adds value in so many places that i don't the reality is operationally i think i'm pretty good i've sat in a lot of boards i was trained by chris i was trained by john mcmahon i was trained by mike speiser to do the operational ship but the reality is i've never sat in the seat i've never been a cro
Chris is the only CRO in the history of technology to go from zero to four billion.
And so I think the two of us combined are pretty special.
The reason I brought Chris in is I can't expand the business without Chris.
We're also making some other pretty critical hires.
We're hiring a guy by the name of Mike Haas that's going to come help scale the recruiting side of the business and then two other people.
So to answer the question right now, it's not scalable.
Once we get these additional people in place, it is scalable.
But will we ever be a company that's got 30 companies in our portfolio?
Fuck yeah, I've had a bunch.
Yeah, I mean, where do you want to start?
Yeah, look, I think the two things that I've learned the most, if I meet with a CEO and he's not a Matan or in my mind, a Winston type of guy, I can't work with them.
Because if I go in there and say, we need to do this, this, this, and this, oh, well, geez, da, da, da.
And I look for how often they reach out to me.
Like the killer CEOs I work with, I swear to God, Matan is reaching out to me at 10 o'clock at night, 6 o'clock in the morning, Sridhar Ramaswamy the same way.
So it's got to be a killer CEO.
And to the extent that I'm able to figure it out, which is not always good, the product, it all comes down to product.
If they don't have world-class product, you're going to fucking lose.
And so have I had some misses?
