It's like the one thing you could pitch against GLG or AlphaSight. It's like, well, guys, this is all we do. We focus on one specific vertical. And it's just a natural pitch that everyone goes, well, yeah, it's all they do. So if we're going to do marketing stuff, we better talk to these guys because they're just naturally better in that space.

That's right, exactly. It happens all the time. It's a whole vertical SaaS thesis that people talk about. There was ACRM called Salesforce or whatever, and now there's 50 CRMs. There's a CRM for real estate, there's a CRM for... By the way, real estate would be another good vertical for this expert network.

Yeah, I think who you are matters a lot in this situation. For me... part of the reason the idea has come to me is cause like I have 50 friends who are at hedge funds. Right. And I just, cause I went to work college with a bunch of them. I worked at a hedge fund for a few years. And so I think the lesson for someone listening is like, who are your friends?

Like, like what world are they in who, you know, because you're, I could kind of call any of my friends and they would all support me. Right. And this is small money for someone at a hedge fund, but But in aggregate, you start to build a business against it, right? And it's like, well, we like Jesse. We trust him. And so I think if you're listening, it's not go sell things to hedge funds.

Well, I'll come to that in a second, actually. But I think you could start with who you know. And that's part of the unfair advantage in getting distribution early, often and early, right? You sell things to the people who you have a relationship with or you have some understanding or knowledge or know-how.

And I think that's just an overlooked, I think there's so many entrepreneurs who I'll meet, you know, they're like salespeople at whatever, some business. And they're like, I want to start an e-commerce business. And I'm like, why? Like, but look, and if their answer is I love water bottles, fine, God bless, right? Like that makes sense if that's really what you want.

But they're like, oh no, because I saw Shark Tank and this, and I had this really smart idea. And I'm like, yeah, I get it. But like, you've been talking to these people for, you know, 30, the last five years. Like, go sell them something. You know, go talk to them. So that's probably the biggest push I'd have. If you were to start this and you don't know anyone at hedge funds...

you've got to go know people at hedge funds, right? That's the only answer for the business, which is why you go back to rule one and say, well, no, just go find people you know somewhere and sell things to them. But I mean, early on at Ampush, we did that. And it's just like, you leverage your network extremely heavily. I bet you with a week or two, you could get 10 hedge fund meetings, right?
