Yeah, I mean, I'm really fortunate to be working with some of the best in our industry. So I'm absolutely impressed. Who is the best from your perspective outside of Index? Outside of Index, it's really case dependent. Gilly, Renan. Fantastic board member. Doug Leone, great board member in a very, very different way. Mike Spicer, tremendous board member. How is Doug good in a different way?

Doug is incredibly intuitive. He can inspire confidence in a decision, which is really, really different. Grady is also like, I respect Grady. I respect Vishria. Where do you find VCs can be damaging in terms of boards? Yeah. Sometimes VCs put their interests ahead of entrepreneurs, which can be disruptive. And their interests are what? Varied, right?

It could be finding a path to liquidity for themselves. In that path, they may not be clear-eyed on a capital allocation strategy.

I probably am more in the Charlie Munger school of like, the goal is to buy and hold and let other people help inform when to sell. And that's true for kind of the winners that make up the power law contributors, which is the business that we're in to find fund returners.
