I think one of the most useful things, in fact, I was planning to write about this. If you're like, if you wanna understand a company, you have to understand the shareholders and their shareholders' expectations. And that's whether it's public or private equity backed or venture backed and backed by huge fund or small fund and seed fund and all these things. The, the incentives matter a lot. But one of the things that was helpful was just really being aligned with the opportunity with the investors about what being just super open, like what is the TAM? What is the market opportunity? Can we really throw more capital or is this just like you got to just grow with it as it goes? You know, things like that. And then be aligned with the personal aspirations of each of the investors too.
