Can you share a little bit more about what it's been like working with me and behind Genius Ventures and what's stood out?
Yeah, absolutely. I can say without reservation, you are one of the nicest, warmest, and most connected to founders, truly a founder-friendly VC that I've ever met. And obviously, if anyone's been through fundraising process, you talk to hundreds of VCs, you genuinely just have the founders' back at all times, and that's what you have at the forefront for all your decisions, which was, it was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't quite expecting that. You know, I was expecting you sort of make an investment and then if I have a problem, I could come to you. I think while that was absolutely true, and you know, even within, I think, one week of the investment, I was already messaging you with, like, texting you with questions. And for what it's worth, for all the listeners, Paige responds in almost real time. It's crazy. Yeah.
