The multiplier is just the market anticipation for your growth rate.

I think it's functional.

And I think it's sustainable.

For me, you know, going public is not a financial event.

It's a branding event.

It's an occasion where you tell your customers, your partners, your employees, your future employees, I'm here to stay.

That's IPO because typically it's not a financial event.

It's not a liquidity event.

It's contrary.

It's the opposite of liquidity event.

You get shackles on your hand.

You cannot sell stock.

You've got all kinds of limitations.

It's hell for liquidity, but it's an important marketing event.

I believe that still many founders and many companies would choose to go through that exercise and pay the price, lack of flexibility and lack of liquidity to gain the value, the long-term value of that marketing event.

But IPO by itself,

It's not a financial event.

It's not liquidity.

I think about secondaries, first of all, in the context of retaining talent.

That's, I think, the most important consideration I have in mind when I think about secondary, because it doesn't just take a lot of cash to build important companies, and specifically important cybersecurity companies in our case.
