They've not been profit maximized.
They've actually been investing in their business, in their employees, in a customer sat, so they can continue growing, you know, for the next five to ten years.
I
it's that, isn't it?
It's the it's the monetary easing, which is probably the right policy response to be honest with you, combined with
in in the in industries that we're in and backing, you suddenly get a huge boost in kind of productivity and, you know, people are at home and therefore usage of SaaS and Cloud and all those kind of things you know gets enhanced as well.
So it's not only monetary policy kind of helps you because money's free.
At the same time you've also got a massive kind of boost in demand side for those businesses that we back as well.
Combine those two things together, it's not that surprising with the benefit of hindsight that you've got a real kind of
peak for a twelve, fifteen, eighteen month period.
To be honest with you, for me, it's always been about consistency over frankly a multi-decade period, you know.
So I mean our strategy AHD was kind of born out of um all the things that we saw in the nineteen nineties, including the dot com boom and boston kind of ninety seven through to two thousand and one.
And you know, we came out of that period, frankly, both of us, even you, a lot younger than we are now.
Um
And you know, we realized some things we'd done well and some things where we'd made mistakes.
And frankly, what we tried to do was to build a strategy that kind of took advantage and understood the things that we'd not got right in that period, and said there's certain types of kind of tech and certain types of software that are actually very robust.
You know, they actually perform in good and bad markets, they actually kind of you know are secularly growing over very long periods of time.
They're maybe not the most sexy
Highest growth things, particularly in a bull market, but they actually kind of go through bull and beer periods very well.
So our strategy about B2B, back office, automation, and higher productivity in professional and semi-professional jobs, which is a lot of what we do, really is built out of that kind of last upheaval and trying to kind of find businesses that will, you know, survive and actually thrive through periods.
