Short monologue by a founder describing an investor deal in which they retained roughly 20% ownership while the investor provided additional capital and strategic support. The partnership enabled faster scaling and opened the prospect of a much larger second exit—potentially building toward a $50M company—despite a lower ownership percentage on the second exit.

Yeah, the, the deal I have with the investor, I maintained about 20% ownership which is enough to make me pretty interested in the growth. And the, the thing that he's done to make it even more interesting is he has invested even more money to help us scale faster. So now the crazy thought that I, I never thought, like I had never considered is that when I, when I make a second exit from the same agency, even though I have a lower percentage, my second payout will, there is no doubt my mind will be much bigger than my first one. Which is crazy to me. Like never consider that. But it's, it's because of the deal I took and because of the partner that I, you know, ended up accepting the offer that made a big difference because I could not build a $50 million company probably on my own. But with his kind of insights and backing, like, yeah, that's more than possible and that's the goal.
