Like when we first started, there was about a billion that went into Europe in venture. These days, about 30 billion that goes into Europe in venture. Weirdly enough, people seem to think like markets that get more liquid and more competitive are bad. I think markets that get more liquid and more competitive are good because the market's actually working.

When the market goes up 30 fold, even if there's more competition, I'd much rather play in the bigger market than the smaller market. But I think there's a chance now for a few more funds to be on that list. I think you have that ambition. I have that ambition. And Ophelia has that ambition to blossom. And some of us are going to make it.

I think a lot of people in Europe won't back someone if they look like they're first-time founders. But I think a lot of the interesting outcomes in our industry, and you can think about this anecdotally. Do you prefer younger founders? It doesn't matter, younger or older.

And I think if you're like 15, 20, unless you're like a superstar and really precocious, you probably don't have the accumulated wisdom to learn the lessons. And I think there's like that 25 to probably 35 age or 25 to 40, like you can grind and you have enough experience to know what to do.
