Having more women and diverse LPs writing checks to fund managers, as they currently represent only about 6%.

About 80% of my time.

One of the most important things is having more women and diverse LPs writing checks to fund managers as well, since they only represent, I think it's like 6%. So I'd love to hear more about that.
I think that's what I spend 80% of my time doing.
Yeah.

And there's a handful of us who are really dedicating portfolios to women, and I'm so excited to have those people as my peers and I want us to raise billions of dollars because the best way to show the LP world and just the world at large that women are the best in class is by showing their, showing their outperformance relative to their peers, but just also on an absolute basis.
