It's no different in my mind than that silly act of trying to create a better croissant.
It exists in current form.
It's great, but you can make it better.
We do that culturally at LMI.
We try to make things better, whether it's our internal process, whether it's the way we engage the world, whether it's the way we are willing to experiment with technology and move fast.
All that is part of our culture.
In terms of the
investing activity or this notion would be back at certain type of investor.
We look for traits of entrepreneurs, of people who are eager to make the world better through the lens of whatever it is that they're doing.
The best investors are obsessed
with their craft, not because they're financially driven.
I think we look for that in our partners.
We look for people who are incredibly passionate and good at what they do, are able to communicate it and make it come across and work clear about what is it that they're trying to accomplish.
Because if you can't communicate a brilliant vision, it stays in your head and unfortunately doesn't get realized.
Lots of different things that go into it, but passion for your craft is a really important component.
Well, it has evolved.
Through time, we've created much more of those options.
Historically, depending on how far you want to go, the primary way would have been to back a GP.
That's a pretty narrow path, perfectly good one.
But I'd say we've been very, very focused on that same thing I described before.
