Like I can't do that.
The thing that I can do though is like get involved early, or if it's something that I'm like deeply passionate about, even if I'm not involved, like track the company super regularly, such that I'm kind of doing all that pre-diligence basically like ahead of time.
So like let's talk about one of the you know some companies that I think exactly.
Simplifies this strategy, Hadrian, where we just announced a one point six billion dollar post round led by uh T Row Price basically last week that's
Exactly, exactly.
I think it's Dell's uh you know, fifth unicorn or something like that from like, you know, they see under twenty five posts all the way through to the uh yeah, feel good about it.
But uh Chris said I was texting him earlier, he's like, You're allowed to two your own heart on a
V C brags, you know.
Uh yeah
Um yeah,
Yeah, that's one where it's like, look, I got involved in like the the you know, basically like company formation, basically like you know, sort of seed round where it was a Chris and like maybe one or two, you know, sort of people.
And so, what did diligence on that one look like?
Well, it was effectively like you know four and a half years of working with Chris very closely, going to every single board meeting, watching the company like adapt over time.
And in like, you know, Q1 last year in 25, it was clear that there was just like this inflection point that I felt like I could appreciate, but not everyone else was really appreciating yet.
The first was they basically, you know, for those that don't know, Hadrian basically builds these like automated C and C basically, you know, facilities.
They basically cut metal on behalf
behalf of you know aerospace and defense companies.
So, you know, think a lot of the biggest logos in the Founders on portfolio won't list, you know, sort of all of them since I'm not sure which ones are allowed to be public.
But you know, ones that, you know, build rockets, make drones, you can guess which ones those are.
Um, and they cut metal on behalf of those companies.
