Whether you're selling lattes, cutting hair, running a boutique, or managing a service business, Square helps you run your business without running yourself into the ground.

I was actually thinking about this the other day when I stopped by a local cafe here.

They use Square and everything just works.

Checkout is fast, receipts are instant, and sometimes I even get loyalty rewards automatically.

There's something about businesses that use Square.

They just feel more put together.

The experience is smoother for them and it's smoother for me as a customer.

Square makes it easy to sell wherever your customers are, in store, online, on your phone, or even at pop-ups, and everything stays synced in real time.

You can track sales, manage inventory, book appointments, and see reports instantly whether you're in the shop or on the go.

And when you make a sale, you don't have to wait days to get paid.

Square gives you fast access to your earnings through Square checking.

They also have built-in tools like loyalty and marketing so your best customers keep coming back.

And right now you could get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at square.com slash go slash how I invest.

So does that change the dynamic of what it takes to be an elite LP and that you're not always, you don't have to have as sharp elbows and there's a different game to it, right?

Than being a great GP.

I question this.

There's this meme that you don't know until year 10 if you're a good GP and it's something everyone repeats.

And there's a lot of wisdom to that frame of thinking, like you have to play the long game.

But I actually question that where to me, it could end up being absurd if taken to the extreme.

You invest in a seed company at $10 million, it's now $10 billion series F. Yes, technically you haven't sold any shares and technically it's only on paper, a thousand X or whatever.
