Absolutely.
Would we have gotten the same level of exposure and benefit from our previous way of expressing that?
No.
That is really, really important.
Having that diversity of different
businesses and different exposures, but keep coming back to how do you acquire that exposure?
That difference can mean the difference between it actually being effective versus not.
You've used this term branded capital, but what is branded capital?
Branded capital could mean literally for one reason or another, you're viewed as someone that a GP should engage with.
And that can mean many things.
If you're a mega fund and you're coming to raise through your fundraising cycle, branded capital could be a large state pension, which will always write the big check.
That's not what we do.
That's not what we are.
And so that's not our brand.
Our brand is to come and help you build a business.
Our brand is to be quick in the way we ingest information, ultimately come back with how we want to or don't want to participate so that we don't waste your time.
We operate much more like a GP in that way and frankly look to hire people that come from GPs or operators rather than just a traditional LP background.
Of course we compete in a variety of spaces, but our reputation continues to build on the way we show up.
Any single one of our people that goes out into the world can do tremendous damage or bring tremendous benefit in the way they engage.
Because as you know, if you do great things with 10 business partners, the next 10 things are going to be easier because at least a few of those are going to come from that network.
