We bought a pretty expensive, large interest in Riviera Partners, which is the largest

tech recruiting firm for CTO and CPO talent, which is really an interesting asset, especially in the AI age where talent is everything.

We've put a lot of emphasis on talent.

We've got 15 people that do nothing but liaise with Fortune 500 companies.

If you're a CEO, first and foremost, give me revenue.

If you're a small company, that's number one ask.

Number two ask will be, give me people.

So we've really surrounded those two functions with resources that we think could be competitive.

And we've helped jumpstart companies where we've gotten the first 10 million in revenue.

It's a big impact in the journey of some of these companies in terms of getting them started.

We really push hard to bring that program to be as big as it can be.

and constantly innovating on that.

It's all about winning.

And so it's a combination of personal connections, showing up and caring about the entrepreneur's problems.

They have choice.

We know they have choice.

They're the winners.

I would say the majority struck me as...

our strategies were really good investors, which is true probably for some of these guys, like they probably are really good investors.

And they kind of tweak that into what might sound like a strategy, especially to some LPs.
