It's not that hard. It's incredibly hard to execute. It is a simple thing in its essence. And so if I try and win every single war across every single front, I will be average across the whole board. So we try to be good at what we're doing. We try to partner well with founders who want that product.
We try to look for new market opportunities, which by the way, in the world of AI, you can imagine why I'm a kid in a candy store right now. I'm the most excited I've literally ever been in my entire career, including as a founder. It's just an amazing opportunity. And if you're asking what makes a new market opportunity, I think it's you're looking for a new behavior.

Looking for a new behavior where when you try it, it just sears into your brain. You can't stop thinking about it. Again, it sounds simple, but if you just do that, is this really a 10x better product? You just don't see that many of those. That simple thing, you just don't see very often at all.

So you used market, people, and product as your three cores. I think if you just look at right now, market, do we understand any of these markets? How fast are they all changing in the world of AI?

So if it's a big market, maybe it was a big market two years ago and it's about to become a really small market and the same thing in reverse.

The way we separate hucksters who do a good pitch from people who are real executors is you look at the thing that comes out of their hands.
