Different folks are better suited for that than other jobs.
But it's pretty much a self-starter, highly personalized initiative to get going.
We have probably an aggregate 60 plus people, depending on how you count 60 to 80 people that are still heavily engaged.
The process has gotten a little bit more sophisticated because founders also want to meet with more senior folks.
We have mid-level folks that could help direct, manage, and coach.
So we have a lot more support for these folks to be really good, and they're getting daily coaching from the folks who've been there and done it.
Almost all the partners at Insight, but one or two at the investment committee level, started off in that program.
We have largely cultivated our own teams over the years.
We also have a very big practice
of McKinsey-like brains that are there to help the portfolio.
So they come in also fairly young, maybe two years at McKinsey and then join Insight.
And that's another career path for people to get to know investing, but to know it through the operational side.
But it's a fantastic talent pool.
One of the core differentiators of Insight is we have the best, youngest talent by far in the world.
I would absolutely put us against anybody on talent.
And we have 16 or 18 funds that were started by Insight alum.
I've got 30 plus partners at other firms today that were Insight alums.
It sort of reflects the fact that we are...
building a good model for people to learn how to invest.
It may not be the only model, but it's certainly a good model.
