Like let's just like conceptualize this for a second.
We built HubSpot.
Halligan was our co-founder, CEO.
I think he owned 5% of the company when we went public.
We went public at a billion dollars.
It took nine years.
That's a $50 million payday.
Great.
Okay.
I've talked to an entrepreneur last week that is building a feature within the go-to-market stack.
I forget what it did.
I think it helped you uncover the intent of a buyer.
Okay.
I'm like, dude, this is cool.
Don't raise venture capital.
If you raise venture capital, our asset class invests in companies that have the potential to exit at north of a billion dollars.
If you raise venture capital, they're going to force you to 100x your product footprint to match HubSpot and Salesforce, which is going to be tremendous risk and take 10 years.
Your chances of pulling that off are low.
And if you pull it off, you're going to be so diluted.
Let's say you pull it off and you exit a billion, just like Howlinger did and made the $50 million payday.
