So that was kind of the starter check because the average, like I said, you try to kind of, in a venture fund, kind of have this narrow window of what you invest.
But then the next round is when we did the 500 plus SPV.
Well, first of all, I'm glad you weren't in my partner's meeting.
But seriously, I mean, there was that in the room.
And at the same time, I had a couple other partners.
And this is what you want.
You want to have partners that debate things you listen to.
But it's like, look, there's never going to be a perfect entry point into this market.
If we wanted to be in this market, this was the way in.
If we said, hey, look, we're just kind of priced out.
We can't be in...
foundation models or Neo Labs of any kind, then okay, you sit on the sidelines.
But we were like, we have to be in this market.
We're building the firm around AI, and this is absolutely the best company.
So just don't overthink it and get in.
And honestly, I think that's been really a hallmark of how we've operated.
I think...
Other firms can be, and not to throw any shade at anybody because I have such great respect, but you kind of get into these situations where we have to own 15% or 20% ownership or we don't do this and don't do that.
And I think the new Menlo that I'm part of has shown extreme flexibility to just do what makes sense.
Let's get in this great company because once you're in, hey, if it takes off, there's plenty of opportunity to put more capital in.
