Mm-hmm.

Started the year with a bang.

I feel like, you know, I I I think I'm just like um addicted to investing over the holidays.

I realized over the past like nine years that I've been an adventure.

I think seven of those years, I've signed a term sheet within 48 hours of Christmas Day.

Wow.

Um and I don't know if that like speaks to the fact that like I just like I'm addicted to work or something about like Santa Claus makes me wanna like send out some presents or something like that.

But yeah, it definitely feels like a busy season.

I was catching up with another investor and he was like.

Same thing here, like one of the you know, best deals we did was basically over Christmas.

Is is the

I admit that like I think a part of it is um if if you were trying to preempt around, no better time than to do it over the holidays because like nobody's ginger chatting at the office, there's no like hallway conversation, et cetera.

You can have these just like very quiet conversations.

Founders like it because they don't have to deal with like, you know, a bunch of noise.

You like it because you feel like you can do this like one-on-one negotiation and basically just set the deadline of like, you know, I've now done this a couple years in a row where it's like, yeah, signed by New Year's, otherwise like deal's off.

basically and I it feels harder to enforce that type of deadline like during the like you know school year basically and so um I think that's part of why you know on both sides I like it.

It's like as a founder you can kind of test the waters

And if it gets shot down, whatever, nobody heard about it.

Everybody was gone for the holidays.

You come back into the office, your employees don't know, your board doesn't know, no VCs know.
