I think that is what distinguishes great products from an amalgamation of features that you can kind of pull together.

And so when I think about what are the most interesting things that we're going to see on the application side, I think they're going to be much deeper than a tool that does X that is pretty shallow in terms of what its capabilities are, right?

I think that the best companies are not the combination of like a bunch of kind of a concrete feature set.

It's sort of how everything kind of works together and the depth of thought around like what the end users need.

And I actually think to some degree, it's like, let's assume a world where a lot of companies can build their own custom solutions.

Like what then, right?

Like, is there the types of products then that exist in that world might look like radically different than what we saw in the SaaS world.

Right.

yeah i'm a big i'm a big golf fan and so a deep cut analogy when this golfer rory mcelroy used to answered all these questions around like all the challenges going on in the pga tour and some of the rule changes they had one of the things he said was you just got to play better and so to some degree i think the answer is like seed managers just have to do a better job which have to invest better and like that doesn't really mean anything

Except that the market's gotten more competitive and, you know, this is supposed to be hard.

And that's the nature of the game.

So to some degree, I think you just have to invest better.

Now, what are some opportunities to do that?

One, I think that AI is coming for our industry in a pretty meaningful way in terms of how we operate.

If you think about the activities of a venture firm, there's a lot of activities that can be automated.

And there's a lot of data exhaust that we're not taking advantage of.

Right.

And so in my second post, I talked about that as not a it's not the answer.

It's like it's a sustaining innovation.

If you recall, I think about how Clay Christian talks about that.
