Yeah, I've had a lot of misses.

And it's either one of those two reasons or both at the same time.

Completely agree.

Like if you look back 10 years from now and you say over the last 10 years, there's been 15 or 20, whatever the number is, world-class technology companies that changed the technology industry.

And we can say for half of those companies, we were instrumental in helping those companies get there.

I can't think of anything better than that.

And I believe we can do it.

Yeah, I mean, look, Mike Spicer is still and, you know, he's at Sutter Hill and he's doing his own thing.

Mike is so unique and Mike is unique to me for a number of reasons.

One, Mike has the ability to see around corners.

Mike sees shit that nobody else sees.

Now, you could argue we've had some execution issues around his vision, which we've had, but Mike sees shit before anybody else sees it.

Two, Mike is an operator, and he's probably the only guy I've ever worked with that is both a stock picker and an operator.

And three, Mike doesn't give a shit.

He just wants to win, and he will tell you whatever he has to tell you.

He never holds back.

The other guy, and there's probably two others, I just met him, Sean McGuire from Sequoia.

I love Sean.

Did the taxi not work?

I spent time with him.
