There are salmon farms and roller coaster ride software and things that nobody's really putting a lot of mind to.
And we did a bunch of those deals back in 23, 24.
Now AI is probably re-energizing some of the growth stuff.
But I like the idea of being able to move around the markets based on where we think the most value is.
They change a lot based on capital flows.
Early stage is like 10%.
Growth is probably 30%.
growth buyout, which is like this, what we call venture buyout.
It's probably another 30, 40% of the LBOs are probably 20%.
The buyout market looked great when interest rates were zero and multiples were expanding and you went from 15 times cashflow to 20 times cashflow.
And that was a pretty interesting time to be leaning in.
It's a little trickier today, but more interest prices are pretty good.
Rates are higher.
Multiples aren't quite as clear.
Growth rates are coming down a lot for big cap software.
That's not a fixed number and we don't want it to be a fixed number.
It's a guideline.
We're never going to get super early as a big number.
