He goes, hey, Sean, great to meet.

I just forwarded you our last three investor updates so you can get a sense of how things are going.

And, you know, like, have you ever seen that slide that says, if they don't have revenue, they'll talk about users.

Or like, if they don't have profit, they'll talk about revenue.

If they don't have revenue, they'll talk about users.

If they don't have users, they'll talk about potential, right?

Or products, features.

If they don't have features, they'll talk about potential.

And it's basically like the ladder of proof of like, what do you actually have?

And I can tell you what you have based on what you choose to reveal, right?

And so similarly, a founder that just says, here's the last three investor updates was, it was just like, oh, let me just show you.

I have a straight flush.

So here's my cards.

Because the investor updates will tell you all the numbers about the company.

Because he sent me the last three, I know the trajectory of how fast they're growing across those three updates.

I can see how the CEO communicates and I can see what they care about, what their priorities are.

So I was like, I made the investment without ever talking to the guy instantly once I read those three updates.

And since then, every update is just like, hey, so we're crushing it.

Here's another gigantic number.

Here's how much growth we had just this quarter or just this month instead of like what most companies do in a year.
