We think we're great at people and understanding change.
So basically everything we do at Durable is
because we're an investment driven firm, is in support of that investment mission.
First of all, we essentially with a clean sheet of paper said, if we were gonna go purpose build an investment vehicle to allow us to do this, how would it actually be structured?
Essentially, the percent of capital that we put in the public markets and the private markets is aligned against that.
And then the second thing we talked about is organizationally, how are we going to go align against this?
The way we think about people is very purposeful.
We really believe in
that very few people actually operate the way we do.
We think durable is just different.
It's different because my partner, Catherine, who worked with me when we first underwrote Figma in 2020,
And also when we led the investment round in 21, it was the same person who was at the all-hands meeting with Figma when Dylan announced to the company that they were going public.
And it's still the person that basically looks at the company when they announce their public earnings.
I mean, that's just different.
So you have to have people...
who can work with companies that are valued at 2 billion and they're private and have 30 million of run rate revenue.
And now Figma is a billion two companies, a public company, and can continue to work on that.
And investment firms aren't structured that way.
So if you want to have people who can do that, you got to develop them internally.
Second of all, it's time allocation.
