Like they have this machinery that's smart because it's all about making sure that every deal, every round that happens, they're going to be in the mix.

We, there's five of us, you know, and there's always the risk that like a found that one of those founders who, you know, kind of mistake basically our lack of outreach for a lack of interest when it's really just a constraint.

And we do everything we can, of course, like it's not like we're just resting on our laurels and waiting for calls.

We're doing everything we can to make sure that we are in the mix.

But at the same time, we are limited.

We're limited.

And so that is the big constraint that I know keeps, I think, all of us up.

It's just making sure how do we... The founder that is going to raise that round, many are intentional about how do I make sure that I'm going to find the right partner for me for the arc of this, the journey that we're all going to be on together.

But...

We're still not there at all times.

We all have different ways.

I mean, there is no single way for us, I would say.

I mean, I always talk about having an air game and a ground game.

And for me, it helps me learn to write better.

And then, you know, you write about things like areas that you're interested in.

And that tends to be it's kind of virtuous loop also of then the founders who are thinking about, you know, building a marketplace or a next, you know, social product, social network.

We'll see something that I wrote or Bill wrote or whoever wrote and then kind of come into the fold that way.

And then there's, I mean, I think like you have the consumer, you know, the consumer lens that you have, you have a little bit of a wider perspective.

There's a funnel that you have to kind of keep.

You never know where these things are going to come from.
