As we look back at this year, what are some of the reflection questions that you're recommending that your portfolio founders are looking at going into this new year in terms of what worked and what didn't? That's such a good question. Okay, I have a couple questions to recommend. You know, I think some of them are fairly obvious and I think some of them are more reflective and like the thing you do, you know, when you go off for the holidays and you have a couple days of downtime and you gotta go into like deep thought mode. One is, What are the metrics that truly matter, right? So going back to the drawing board on strategy and asking about, you know, what is our differentiation in the market? What is our winning play? What is our wedge product? Like really getting more crisp and clear on what is the winning product that we're going to market with and what are the metrics that matter that give us very strong confidence that we have product-market fit for that product or that we have efficient growth in how we're bringing that product to market.
