And have the founders or the

current generation of leadership lost their touch for whatever reason?

And have they failed to kind of hand the keys over to the next generation?

And this holds true in both private equity and venture capital.

Leadership can change the direction of the firm almost immediately.

And so that's an area that we spend a lot of time focused on.

Could be all of the above.

And I don't think there's one sweeping answer.

Probably the most obvious one, though, is like

people got really wealthy and they lost that fire in their belly.

And you probably know a lot of venture capitalists.

The red Ferrari syndrome.

Yeah.

And some never lose the fire in the belly because money is not the reason that they do this.

But there are other situations where you just maybe get to a point in your life where you're going to go enjoy the finer things in life.

And that takes you away from

being 150% committed to finding the next great entrepreneur and an idea.

But it has to do with lots of different things.

Sometimes it's just luck, right?

I mean, there is a saying in the venture industry, everybody needs to get lucky, right?
