I've got to respect their timeline and what matters to them.
They have entrusted me with their capital.
I will do everything within my power and I will make sure I give them what they require in return.

It fosters good governance.
But a company, as it scales and as it grows and matures, it's not just about a founder.
It's about everyone.
It's about all the stakeholders, your employees.
You have a greater responsibility.
It's easier to take that responsibility as a public company.
