What I would say is Matt Harris is probably the smartest and best FinTech investor out there. I mean, you know, Rivet's obviously incredible as well. But Matt Harris, I think, you know, has kind of set the direction of FinTech for a very long time. But what I would argue is like that knowledge can be counterproductive as well. If you know too much, because the crazy ideas are crazy, right?

Like you can outthink yourself from any good series A by overthinking. I've done it myself. I've seen other people do it. And I think knowing too much can actually be dangerous. So what industry are you like? Sales tools. The next AI for sales tools company. I have a very hard time, you know, keeping an open mind at this point.

You mentioned at the beginning, listen, I know how well they're doing, but I just have a hard time seeing. I've just heard the pitch so many times. There's a lot of activity that I don't think is going to go anywhere there.

My answer to that question has changed by fundraising myself. There were a lot of times where it was easier as a VC just to say something polite to not give people the real feedback. And having been on the other side of a fundraise and now felt the other direction, I think it's really helped me understand how useless that is and the importance of giving strong, constructive feedback.

And it's one of the reasons I'm having so much fun right now, because it focuses you in a way that I had not done before, where the danger of the optionality of being able to do every stage at every time is you have to keep so many doors open.

And therefore kind of giving yourself the kind of the test of conviction of where you are, and then being able to kind of adapt and change the operations around that.
