Well, this wasn't the most recent disagreement, but a really substantive disagreement was about whether or not to build a junior team at chemistry. Where did that net out? We are doing it, but I'll give you some of the color around it. So I came in with more perspective that we need to be extremely streamlined. You know, having a GP only group is going to be an advantage in terms of the ecosystem.

I think Ethan and Christina had a much stronger feeling that working with a junior team is going to add an element and dynamic element in terms of different ages, different networks, that's really going to complement the GPs.

So what we netted out to is just a very small junior team. We're going to have two folks. We've hired one so far who's fantastic and already making a massive impact on the fund. But that was something we really needed to unpack and try to think about the pros and cons.

Some of the folks that I respect immensely are the Excel Venture team, Dan Levine, Vasanth Rajan, some of the folks that I would describe as similar age to the three of us there, you know, that are doing a tremendous job in the ecosystem. There are some funds that I would consider new guard funds a little bit in front of us. I think Sarah Guo has done a tremendous job with Conviction.
