And we'll see this evolution.

I mean, we're obviously very early in this kind of wave or artificial intelligence.

A lot of these changes have happened fairly quickly and they'll evolve.

But it's very clear the game on the field has changed.

And that changes.

We're not going back to where we were several years ago or even a decade ago.

at least anytime soon.

But a lot of what we've talked about in terms of the symptoms that have created this environment are academic in terms of what we've all observed, what you've observed.

I'd be curious in terms of the implementation, if you are a seed manager, how do you navigate?

And maybe looking at NextView in particular, what have you decided based on all of these thoughts that are very much macro level at the seed level, when I say macro at the seed level,

How has it impacted your behavior or your model in terms of how you operate from an investment standpoint?

For those that are listening, the blogs that we've been talking about and covering are on the NextView website.

Now that you've been in seed investing for nearly 15 years running NextView, what is the one thing that you know now that you wish you knew when you started seed investing in 2011?

Yeah, I remember somebody I had on the podcast.

They're like, we're in the business of investing in exceptions that actually prove to be some of the biggest results.

And so if you're not unwilling to make exceptions and you're so dogmatic, it's almost impossible to actually see things or do things that actually can present these types of opportunities.

And a lot of it's like valuation and ownership targets.
