Now, the interesting thing, Jason, as you know, is people have been trying to fund in the VC community, the the creator economy for years.
This is not an unknown thing.
It hasn't worked that well, right?
Creator platform financing is meh at best.
It sometimes works, it sometimes doesn't.
You know, people have tried to finance individual products from creators that have their own problems.
So the real innovation that we've been working on now for years is how do you properly seed fund creators and these communities for deep alignment, right?
For cheap cost of capital to make it something where we really can balance.
back these up and coming obvious build business builders and entrepreneurs that have honestly been underfunded to date is the way we look at it.
And Jason, if you don't mind me jumping in on that for a second.
I mean, here's here's the interesting thing is Beast has been incredibly good for people understanding this world because that oh my God, this can be way bigger than we realized.
And I think that's actually been very helpful, popular for two reasons.
One is it's helped LPs the industry understand this is not some small thing.
It's not just niche business.
But also, really importantly, it's gotten creators or people who have started buildings communities to dream much bigger, right?
Which I think is great.
Great.
Now, I will say, from a slow venture's perspective, we actually probably would not underwrite a beast, right, from the early days.
We'd probably miss that one.
You don't get everyone, right?
