There's meeting the right people, sourcing sort of thing.
There's definitely the assessment evaluating.
There's the winning, because some things are competitive, some things aren't actually.
And then there's the can you increase the probabilities of success or the amplitude of success by being like a conciliary?
Yep.
I think in
Areas I know better, I actually can probably help more on the consiliary piece, like financial services, payments, whatever.
I can probably be more useful to Fallander after I start working with them because I have seen where a lot of bodies are buried, but tried a lot of things by hand.
By the way.
I think for the best founders, being a conciliary is like 99% of the value.
So when I pitch a really world class founder, I'm like, why take my money versus a partner?
It's like, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna be someone when everything's a mess who can give you feedback that occasionally is useful.
And the really best founders actually ask for conceptual frameworks, not answers.
So, like for example, my friend Max Rhodes at Fair will always start the question with, I'm debating X versus Y.
Yeah.
Do you have a conceptual framework for navigating that?
And you know, the answer is sometimes yes.
Or like someone I remember when I first started working with Patrick Carlson in 2013 or so, we would sit down for brunch on a Sunday and he'd come with a list of five to ten questions.
And I would go to bed really early the night before to make sure I was very well rested.
I'd be like in bed by nine o'clock because I knew he was going to only ask the questions that he was like debating or struggling with.
