It's tons of pitch meetings.
That is what I think our time is best spent doing.
Pitch meetings and then helping our existing portfolio.
Founders pitching you.
Founders pitching us.
I probably always tell people it's not a flex to get a meeting with me because I pretty much don't say no to meetings.
But I probably take an hour between meetings.
18 to 30 pitches per week.
It goes back to the Michael Fraser frame of reference.
The more companies you meet, the easier it is to spot the people that truly stand out.
Obviously, you miss things over time, but I think it's hard to know what great looks like without seeing a lot of things.
I also find that the VCs that I believe are the most successful VCs and have had the most storied careers tend to be the people that take every single introduction I send them.
And then the VCs who are still building their careers and I send them deals are like, I'm a little swamped for bandwidth right now.

I think that could be true at growth stage.
