And each institution has a slightly different sort of edge.

When I think at UVA, going way back in time before I was even there, they had a very large allocation, two hedge funds.

there was a large number of graduates that went into the hedge fund world.

A lot of them were a tiger.

And that tiger cub portfolio really paid dividends over decades for UVA.

So that was part of my network then, since I was part of that.

And so leaning on that versus we had certainly some very strong venture relationships

But unlike a Stanford that was right off of Sand Hill Road, which is really still the epicenter of the venture world, it wasn't as good as another institution.

We still had strong relationships that were built up over time.

But understanding those relationships that you either have developed yourself or just have acquired as for being part of that organization is really, really helpful.

It's a really good question.

I'd say what you don't want to do is to...

get so oversized in anything just because it does play to your strength because you then end up with these other problems.

It's just like, you know, too much of anything that's good for you can also be bad for you.

You can, you can actually, you know, have negative health consequences from drinking.

Everyone should hydrate.

But if you drink a lot of water or too much water, it can also be bad.

You also want to have this sense of play to the strength of

but also know their limits to something.

So because of illiquidity, so let's say you just had 70% of the portfolio in venture, that's not gonna work well over a long period of time, just because you have these bursts of the IPO market being open, so you can get liquidity then, but there are long time periods where you're not gonna have any liquidity.
