There's a lot of non-dilutive players coming out of the space like FounderPath.
We share a couple founders together, which we're enjoying supporting.
But how does a VC like you view a non-dilutive capital partner that might already be on the balance sheet like FounderPath?
On that note, let's wrap up here with the famous five, rapid fire.
Number one, favorite book?
Number two, is there a CEO you're following or studying?
Can't be a portfolio company.
Number three, what's your favorite online tool for, you know, let's say for analyzing software companies?
Do you guys use any online tools?
Early 40s.
Great.
Last question.
Something you wish you knew when you were 20?
Guys, Emergent Ventures, AI Focus, most recent fund, $76 million fund closed in January of 2021.
They've made about 14, 15 investments out of that already.
Target a $1.5 million check size and a 10% equity stake and usually hold $3 to $5 million in that fund for their winners, right, that are really taking off in terms of the reserve.
They got two partners today looking to scale, really focused on, again, those AI machine learning startups as they look to deploy money in a smart, capital-efficient way.
Anupam, thanks for taking us to the top.
Thank you, Nathan.
One more thing before you go.
