You have to know the right people.
you have to network with the right people, right?
Which is not impossible.
Like that's what I love about Dino's story is like, he didn't know anybody.
He didn't know who Joe Lonsdale was when he took him out to do a workout, right?
He just wanted to do a defense company.
And so there's so many stories of just being young and hungry and determined and have a good idea and like the right people will find you.
So, I mean, the idea matters a lot.
I mean, there's examples where I've invested in people pre-idea.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like I have a great company called Cape that's building a MVNO, a mobile network for privacy.
And the founder, I knew the founder from another company that I had invested in called Manabar Labs.
It's working with a lot of the agencies and DOD.
He was on the board.
And he was the head of government sales, agency sales at Palantir for a very long time.
And so he just knows government sales better than anyone.
He had been in the army and then went to Palantir.
And I always just said like, hey, if you're ever leaving Palantir,
Please, please let me know.
