Yeah.
I mean, like if one of them becomes a billion dollar company, I think I might get like, you know, a few thousand dollars or something.
It's pretty negative.
You don't do it for the money.
Okay.
So you did it to get back into the network or stay close to the network?
Well, first of all, I wanted to...
I knew a lot of founders who were starting companies and I wanted to support them.
And the whole thing about being an angel investor is it's the best way to make a small amount of money out of a large amount of money.
The track record of amateur angel investing is pretty much kind of guaranteed to lose money.
uh and to lock it up so i was really happy to be able to like learn how to be an angel investor by using you know someone else's money rather than my own um so that was great and it meant that i got to be back on the game meeting founders and talking to founders and it convinced me of two things the first is is that i just got an enormous amount of energy and joy out of spending time with founders again
And I had a reason to do it because obviously I could write checks.
So founders are much more likely to spend time and I could get to know them and be involved in their business.
Yeah.
That they'll respond to.
Well, of course, because as a startup founder, why would you want to meet someone who's working at a tech company?
Like there's, there's not a lot of reason.
And as a startup founder, you have to protect your calendar a lot.
So having that kind of like, um, uh, scout program and that I could actually spend a lot more time with founders.
And where were you scouting?
