And so I'll sometimes get intro to someone from a VC and they have an incredible background.

And I'll be like,

that person didn't seem very good.

And it was just like my gut.

And I think I've been right in some of those instances.

And I've bet on people that sometimes they said that I shouldn't have bet on and they've turned out right.

So when to hire execs, I've probably been wrong the majority of the time.

Who to hire?

I think I've actually been right a decent amount of times.

That happens too.

Yeah, I mean, so I'll give you one example in our vertical.

The vast majority of our customers don't know who Sequoia, A16Z, or any of those people even are.

And so I think that, you know, maybe there's a couple ways that people think about key making.

One, they think of key making as it provides you with like more capital.

More capital does not mean you run a better business.

You could have as much capital in the world as you want.

If you make the wrong product decisions, you're just going to invest in all the wrong places and it doesn't matter.

It's the same as VC.

You have 100 billion, and if you put it all into the wrong things, that still goes to zero, right?

So I don't think capital makes folks win.
