And in some ways, I literally use that word.

Like I'm looking for the CTO to be a bit of a magician and the CEO to be a good salesperson.

That's like my favorite combo.

And I agree with you, the CEO being a good salesperson and being a real entrepreneur.

Is actually more important because the CTO role can be fungible depending on how complicated it is.

But I have said no more times than yes in those situations.

And I regret some of them.

But the dynamic between those founders matters.

Early on, like to me, I look at the dynamic.

And in some ways, I think I want to replicate the partnerships that I've loved and go.

I'm looking for some kind of alchemy here.

You don't have to be identical.

You don't have to finish each other's sentences.

In fact, I prefer that you were different.

But how aligned are you, and how much do you trust each other's kind of competence and go?

And in a career, I've seen alchemy maybe one hand, you know, one like five times, four or five times.

But when that alchemy happens, it's because of that interplay between.

So I'm watching that pretty carefully.

So I would say the youth, the energy, the focus, the smarts, you put that package together and it's an intoxicating package.

I look at experience and I go, what are we going to need to package with that experience?
