The biggest takeaway I had is that people who have the lives experience are going to be the best people to solve that problem. You know, like if you're an entrepreneur trying to solve X, I don't feel like that's super revolutionary, but still capital is employing that way. If you really experience that pain point, you're going to have the grit and the tenacity,
as well as the actual experience to be able to solve that problem. You know, when I see a lot of founders who are, or you know, even GPs, I would say, that are kind of band waggening onto something that they know as an industry trend, they're not going to, it is so hard to launch a company or a firm.
You're not going to have the grit and the tenacity. And honestly, you don't have the insights to do it best. You're not going to hit product market thick quick enough, and you're not going to be able to accelerate that on ramp and at the speed that you need to in order to be competitive. So I think that rings true in any geography that I've worked in.
