And that's the most important thing by an order of magnitude a founder does is invert inertia, literally in a physical sense.
Like the world, you know, it's
Rust stays around, body rest stays and rest.
You've got to create the momentum.
And you have limited time, limited energy, capital, people to do that.
Those kind of discussions, Venod and I certainly can have different views about, like, oh, this market makes a lot of sense, or he may see an angle to enter a market that's better than what I would do, or more insightful, or where I'm actually struggling with an answer, or vice versa.
Or I may believe in this current founder, their approach actually will pay dividends and he might not see it.
But if you believe in the founder for reasonable size investment, that can still make sense.
So let's say
I brought in a founder tomorrow that Vinod thought was stellar, but he thought the market was stupid or the approach was dumb.
For two million dollars, we probably almost surely still invest.
Yep.
For 10 million, we might not.
Right.
And for 20 million, we almost surely wouldn't.
Yep.
So it depends on the size of investment, how much you can just go with like the founders, right?
You're great, they're gonna figure this out.
Yep.
Versus like there's line of sight to something that seems interesting.
