And I think we're about to see a big role reversal.
Even that trope that we see where you get a very technical founder is like, I think I need that sales guy.
I'm going to get the sales guy at Series A or the sales guy or gal.
And all of a sudden, they've raised $20 million in a mango seed.
They have no traction.
And so that's something that I see.
I try to attack it all the time when it's ever propagated that, of course, deep tech founders are always, almost always hacker-hacker teams.
In the 1990s, Boston 95-128 corridor, hacker-hacker teams who are PhDs with a GP who is a PhD.
The problem is the world is so different now.
And if you don't have that Rolodex to Schneider, to Siemens, to Bosch, Verizon, AT&T, Best Buy, Apple, that's really hard to uncork success for a founder.
So I would say it's not always the best tech.
It's distribution and work with people who understand that distribution.
