My kids are like nine and six. I'm not doing anything. I'm going to be tied to a location generally while they're in school and things like that. So I got like at least 12 years for sure. So again, maybe in 12 years, I might come back on, you guys will still be here and you'll, you know, everyone will have the fully gray beards.

And like, at that point I'll be like, no, I sold, I'm done. Like I, you know, that's possible.

You are. I think it's amazing. I mean, that's one of the things I talked to Adam about. I'm like, how do you keep doing it? It's amazing. Like, I mean, I'm five years on. Just keep showing up? Yeah, I'm five, six years on box out. And I'm like, you know, it just kind of runs and it does great. Because there's a lot of people involved, you know, like we had our first Christmas party.

We had never done a Christmas party. We had like, I don't know how many people, 20 people or something like, and we flew people in and all kinds of stuff. And we all got together and ate food. And so it was awesome. I was like, dang, this is fun. You know, I don't know about, you know, GitHub summit size, 50, 100, 200. I saw that path up to a thousand. I'm just like, that's crazy. That's a lot.

So I like this idea of small things that can do well, you know, like the below, you 2 million. If they, if they go up like over that, that's fine. But, um, I think there's a lot of, there's, and there's other companies that are doing this too. Like I've seen like third South capital. I'm actually talking with Justin, the like, who's in that, the button down guy next week.

And there's some other people that have reached out smaller or bigger than that. Uh, or I don't know what size they are, but like what I've seen is they do some bigger deals more in the, like, let's say two to 5, you know, million, whatever range kind of stuff. Um,

But like below PE, like PE is usually like they'll sniff around in the one, two range, but like they don't get super interested and excited to like five or ten usually. But I'm just I'm seeing more people kind of move down market because they're realizing, hey, you can buy stuff there and then grow them. And just you get multiple arbitrage.

If you are going to sell it, you can buy it for a two to four X and sell it for a four to six X if you can grow it. So it's just interesting. I don't know. Again, I have no idea. This is my current thesis right now. I'm just blabbing. Even as I'm sitting here, I'm like, do I believe all these things? Like, I'm not entirely sure.

some assurances and so you can kind of gauge where you want to go next that's a intended pun there yes and i think like a big thing too is that like at ordered list you know they're like there was steve and i but we had three guys working with us and you know the github stuff happened and that was all great for them and i was like that's cool like that's really cool i was a part of of like helping someone else obviously they did the work and stuff like that too like but i'm like that was a neat thing and now i'm in box out and you know steve and i have been through this before
