Most of our investors have, maybe all of them, have participated in multiple rounds.
What was the hardest round you ever raced?
I would say...
It might've been 2022.
You had a little bit of a down market that started in maybe Jan or Feb of 2021, if I'm getting my dates right.
22 is the bad year, yeah.
22 is the bad year, right?
So it was end of 2021 might've been the peak and 22 is the bad year.
So maybe that round was somewhere towards the end of 22 or 23 or something like that.
Not because it was hard to raise the round.
It was more because it was
Hard for me to make peace with the fact that the valuations had gone down, but not so much that, but more of a, why the hell would we raise?
Because we don't really need the cash and the valuations are done.
So what the hell is the point of that?
It's hard to say.
Part of me thinks that, yeah, I was wrong.
And part of me is like, we'll never know.
But the reason it was so interesting is because when things like that happen, especially in the private markets, a lot of external observers might have the perception of, well, the last mark that that company had was at a time where valuations were not really anchored in reality.
So what really is the mark today?
No one really knows.
