But, you know, after the fact, I definitely felt that way during the grind. You know, just being honest, I was like, shit, I'm about to lose a couple hundred grand. Like, this is not a good. Which. Which many entrepreneurs feel it, right? But I think it was. It was all worth it in the end. And I think both, one, the financial return that I'm hoping to get, but two, I needed to have that experience to. To be clear about what I want to do right now. I actually think it's an interesting space to think about in today's world because you have all of these, you know, kind of the anti everything that you preach. These, like, highly fundraised businesses that did their A, B, even C, you know, metrics have fallen off. They're not going to be able to raise funds. You know, they're kind of in a weird spot. And some of them will just be like, I don't, you know, I'm not going to make any money off this, and I don't want to work on it anymore. And, you know, if those businesses, I think one key thing is to approach them early and just kind of say, hey, this is something I'm interested in.
