How do normal businesses use a fund to scale? So for example, in my area right now, there are crazy amount of car washes, Quick Quack and all those other crazy car washes. That's a business that essentially used private equity funds, raising capital to now scale and take over the world. I don't know where you guys live, but there are Quick Quacks and those big types of car washes blowing up like crazy. So you could go to any business owner and say, hey, you've got 1 or 2 good locations. Maybe they're a local pizza joint or local restaurant that just kills it. Hey, why don't we gather some money together and scale you to a number of different locations or buy out your competitors. That's how a regular business owner uses a fund.
