Well, I'd say Cambridge, it wasn't just Jeremy offices.
It was a broad mix of institutional allocators.
So college endowments, pensions, actually, in a wide range.
I think that was just really illuminating, just sort of appreciating the breadth of the landscape and how capital market, this whole system kind of functions.
Cambridge was my first job out of school, but I think hedge funds and private equity is all very sexy and people understand that.
But where does that money come from?
What is it trying to accomplish?
I think that was...
you know, just fascinating to kind of get that big lay of the land and like, what is everyone's incentives?
I think just like sort of developing an appreciation for like, you might think this or that investment doesn't make sense, but for somebody it actually does.
And I think just like, they wouldn't have done it.
Yeah.
And also just the structure, it may look silly for one type of investor, but another investor, it's like what they need for, because their balance sheet is, it has something.
So I just think like a little bit of like,
Just that really, really broad exposure to both the allocators themselves and then all the different ways that you could invest that money through funds and other things.
They were just playing a big role in this part.
But just the governance of that and those frameworks is, I think, really important.
I think by definition, if they're working with Cambridge, I think they took it seriously.
But I think...
Now I sort of see families that maybe haven't taken that more rigorous approach and they're shooting from the hip and they do a bunch of private deals and oh gosh, now we're actually out of money.
