In this brief YouTube short, two speakers explain their investment firm's rigorous pre‑screening system. They emphasize that every potential deal must pass through multiple layers of people and dedicated teams before reaching the investors. Throughout the process, strict filters and criteria are applied, and the team collectively says "no" to the vast majority of opportunities—only a tiny fraction survive the extensive vetting to be considered for investment. The dialogue highlights the power of this disciplined approach and the consensus required to move a deal forward.

You have so many investors that understand.
Again, we have multiple layers of people and teams that deals have to even go through before they even get to our investors. Like, that's really powerful. And again, we say no to more— all 3 of us say way no to way more deals than we actually say yes to. Yes. We finally all agree and land on one. Like, okay, now the filters that it's come through, all the criteria it's come through, that's why we're doing this.
