The Extinction Company.
And what's so interesting about both of these companies is that both of them made zero sense to me at all, especially in the early days.
But the reason why I want to talk about these two companies is not because they were the biggest winners, because they were both born out of very deep, long-standing relationships.
I think the way I would think about being a venture investor today to get the most out of it, because I just generally don't like private investing anymore.
I'm not a huge fan of it.
ROI relative to at least what I can do in the public market.
So I'm not making a lot of private investments anymore.
But the one thing that is indisputable, and I tell people, I probably gave up half a billion dollars because I took all my money out of my public portfolio every year the last 18 years and put it into venture investments that are generating about 10% to 15% annualized return, as opposed to the 70 plus percent annualized return I get in my public portfolio.
That probably cost me half a billion dollars.
But I would do it all over again.
The whole thing.
I would do it all over again.
I would make the same mistake.
Because venture investing brought so many amazing relationships into my life.
And you know what?
A couple of them might end up playing out to where I don't feel as bad about that decision.
If Apptronic ends up playing out the way that I think it will.
And so what I mean by this is you should be thinking about venture investing, not necessarily for the ROI, but you should be thinking about it as a lifestyle.
The fact that all of y'all are actually in this room and that you flew here, I feel comfortable saying this because you already know enough that you knew it was worth your time or money.
I don't know anything about this thing, but they actually get here because this is what it's all about.
