We as a growth fund probably meet 30 companies a week, not new, probably 30 companies a week.

I personally probably meet 10, somewhere around there.

I keep the introduction super brief.

I like to jump in and say, hey, why don't you please spend five minutes explaining to me the strategy and your vision?

Because I've read your website.

I know a little bit about the company.

I've talked to some customers maybe.

But what is the bigger thing?

You tell me.

And then I just ask questions for 20 minutes.

Okay, so what do you think about this?

What do you think about that?

This may be a stupid question, but can you tell me about this?

And I find that to be a lot more effective.

And the ultimate compliment that we get from a founder is thanks, you've done your research or hey, thanks for asking that question.

That's pretty smart.

So my wife would say that I have a low attention span.

And what she means by that is I'm interested in a lot of different things.

And this is a really cool way of getting to learn about tons of new stuff.

I suspect this is the same reason that you like to invest is how lucky are we?
