Like I partnered
With someone like Jack Dorsey, or I partnered with someone like Reed Hoffman, or partnered with someone like Max Levchin or Peter Thiel, they had very strong will and very strong vision.
It's
actually is a good prochain.
And you know, I hadn't really double clicked on this, but as we think about hiring for here, if we do hire XXX, I think it's better to possibly better to hire the number twos than the number ones.
Yeah.
Because you don't really want to ever get in the way of a founder's vision, at least in my view.
Like when I choose to invest in a founder, it's because I believe this person is compelling, has these traits, and will be the CEO forever.
Or for you know, as long as they their health, their family, whatever, their obligations will allow for, or I won't invest personally.
As a fund, other partners here may invest where they think we're gonna change the CEO at some point.
We do a lot of deep tech investing.
Some of the deep tech uh uh emerges from universities, not all of those professors want to be a CEO of a large organization forever.
So we do have you know a reasonable number of our portfolio companies where we do change and add a CEO.

Interestingly enough, I don't know if we've ever d ever really disagreed about a founder's ability.
