How are they going to get car insurance?

All of those little things, they feel like if they can just kind of remove that from the equation, then they can be 100% hyper-focused on their company 24-7.

It's not as exciting as you might envision.

Having gone to some of these places, it's not as like cookie crazy as you would probably think.

And these founders are not really partying.

They're very serious.

So for the most part, they just kind of look like any apartment that you might expect like a 22-year-old to be living in.

It's pretty sparse.

They don't have a lot of furniture.

They had things.

stacks of leadership books, books about artificial intelligence, things that you would expect from somebody who's putting everything they have and all their focus into like the startup tech Silicon Valley world and who doesn't have a lot of free time to do much beyond that.

I don't think that a lot of them have that much perspective on anything different.

You're talking about a bunch of people who've just dropped out of prestigious Ivy League universities where they were getting their meals in the cafeteria.

They had a dorm.

They're being taken care of by their investors.

I don't think that they really know that much different because I haven't really found many older founders who are doing this, right?

Because the older you get...

Usually the more responsibilities you have, like you might have kids, you might be married, that kind of removes you from participating in this kind of crazy VC house lifestyle.

Yeah, it's a trend almost.

Like these students are seeing their friends do it or their peers or people they admire.
