Mark, thanks again for your time, really appreciate it.

And thanks for everything that Entry St. Horowitz does to support veterans.

So we have a kind of a veterans program that we built, really supported by Andrews and Horowitz,

that brings together vets in the valley.

And so we really appreciate it.

So you started your career as an entrepreneur.

You founded a bunch of companies and made the decision to transition to investing.

What motivated that for you?

Yeah.

I'm trying to figure out a way to say, I'm figuring out how to say giving back without sounding

too nice.

So it's like a lot of things in life.

You do things. In my case, I directly started three companies and I worked like a lot of things in life. You do things.

In my case, I directly started three companies, and I worked with a whole bunch of other entrepreneurs.

And at a certain point, so I'd probably like anything else in life.

At a certain point, you go through it enough times.

So somebody once said that, somebody said, what is it?

Yeah, bad judgment leads to lots of mistakes, which then leads to good judgment.

You basically, right, you end up fighting all the fights, you end up making all the mistakes,

and at some point you come at the other end kind of knowing what you're doing.

And so my partner, Ben, and I basically thought about five years ago we started this firm,

and we thought we'd reach the point where we had learned enough where we could actually be helpful to other founders who were starting companies.
