We held that thing for, you know, we made a ton.

But when you get there early, you have a shot investing in every fund.

One.

And two, you have a shot of really helping the founders set in the right footing.

Unfortunately, the venture people, the

venture industry has a lot of people, not everybody, but as a lot of people that are don't really have as much experience as you'd like.

Let me just leave it at that.

So we we do want to go early.

The ARC program uh has worked quite well for us.

Uh we've decided to limit it though, not to go en masse, not to go have hundreds of companies, because at the end of the day, uh you know they'll

All have your brand, those are all founders that expect your help.

Like, like you can't say to an art company, okay, we're only going to give you an hour and a half.

That conversation is not a brand augmenting type of conversation.

That destroys your brand.

And so we keep it tight, you know, whether it's 15, 20 companies a class, but that's worked well.

But we do try to be the first money in, uh, the first uh C.

Or otherwise.

And if we can meet that, then we want to be the first Series A money.

Uh, because once you get to Series B, now the ownership comes down.

Look, the ownership has come down already a whole bunch.
