that if you want to raise a fund or you want to raise an investment, your trade-off is how much money you want to raise, how fast you want to raise it, and what kind of terms you're going to give.
Yeah, you get to pick two, right.
But the difference here, though, Patrick, is that it gets back to money moves at the speed of trust.
So size and terms really trade off from each other.
Speed actually is trust.
And that's the part where it drives me crazy when I try to explain to somebody like, no, no, this isn't just a discussion of mechanics.
Okay, let's use scarcity.
I take my size, I shrink it up to the scarcity, a real scarcity.
People will move faster.
Let's say I don't have scarcity.
Now, geometrically, they're going to move slower.
That's straightforward.
So back to your example of venture capital firm.
I'm saying, look, I just send it out and next week they bring it in.
It's very scarce.
Money moves fast.
But let's say you don't have scarcity and now money is going to move very, very slowly.
It's going to move at the speed of trust.
Then there's the terms.
Well, the terms, lowering the terms actually may make the person move a little faster, but they're going to move faster because they think that you won't have capacity for them now that you've actually come to this tipping point where, oh my God, if I don't move, I'm going to miss out.
