It's just, if, if I can, if I can early in my career, make 50 bets and they viewed them as, as best, you know, if one of them hit, now I have a halo deal.

Now I have some credibility and now I have something I can take to my, to my next position or that's my track record.

Right?

So again, beauty of power law is that you, you,

Some subset is going to have something interesting that's going to come out of a not great process.

Is that talent?

Is that great process?

Like going back to the thinking about the process rather than the outcome, that person, that strategy feels really hard to underwrite for future ventures.

Unless you believe entrepreneurs value that as well.

It has to come back to that, right?

If entrepreneurs are, we don't think they're that naive, ascribe a lot of value to that work.

then yes, it'll pay off.

But if they don't, it won't mean anything.

I feel like there's a correlate of time and company progress.

When it is, say, like you've heard stories of companies that start with one idea, completely pivot from a consumer app to an enterprise app.

Right.

And so I don't know.

It's kind of the question of what is knowable at the idea or pre-idea, even at the wireframe stage.

And so I wonder about the VC founder, Mutual Opt-in.

I'll mention another story, kind of, again, going to our ground truth exercises.
