The CTO, at some point, up to 50 people, you're golden.

And then at some point you go, actually, we could bring in better, better technical skills.

And if you've got a good co-founding CTO, that person becomes like a Swiss Army knife and is deployed in different ways.

The CEO goes on this serious journey where the learning curve

Is steep and they've got to learn to manage and they've got to learn to put bums on seats.

And I think of people like TJ at Pill Pack or Jack at SeatGeek, and they're changed individuals.

I had coffee a week ago, we had an hour, Mikey Shulman from Suno.

And I said, What are you doing?

And he said, I'm 30, 40% of my time, I'm just recruiting.

I had lunch years ago, decades ago.

I was invited to a lunch and someone smarter than me said, What do you spend your time doing?

And he said, fifty percent of my time is bums on seats.

That's never left me.

That's the CEO journey.

That's the entrepreneur's journey.

And there are many founders.

Less.

And I think your logic is correct.

But so early on, we're looking for this package.

I'm looking for this CEO, CTO kind of magic.
