And we love the work behind the scenes because that's what makes you great.
If I'm not in the model, if I'm not in the deck, if I'm not on the calls, I can't make the best investment decision.
And again, how does that scale?
It scales by saying no to other things.
If a founder calls me and says, hey, we have 48 hours.
I need a term sheet.
I'm like, awesome.
Godspeed.
Internally, I'm going to come back and say, guys, how did we miss this?
What can we do to be better from a coverage standpoint?
But we're not making an investment decision in 48 hours, period, ever.
We're going to win the deal before it gets there, and we're going to spend a lot of time and feel good about the investment decision.
And so that enables us to actually functionally be an analyst and an associate at a firm that we founded.
I would love for Dunbar to rerun that exercise for parents of toddlers because that number is probably a little bit south of 150 for me today.
It's a great thing to think about in life.
And what I would tell you is for us, anytime I'm talking to folks about running the firm and starting the firm, the privilege of this moment for me and for us is we get to hand select every single person that we talk to and work with every day.
Not just our founders, our investors, all the way down, right?
And what a privilege in life that is.
And there's a certain amount of people who are going to make that 150 and we're going to work really hard for them.
We've been very, very fortunate to have the capital to go out and back this next crop of founders out there and do what we all love to do.
