The most common reason we pass on an opportunity is not because we think it's going to lose money, but because we think it's not worthy of ten years of a founder's time, like success is just not going to... The opportunity cost for a founder like you is so massive that they have to be working on something that, if they solve it, is worth so much more, is so much better than any other opportunity they could spend their time on. Oftentimes, when I pass on something, it's because I don't think it's worthy of the founder's time! I wish that the founder was working on something bigger, or something else. So, what I like about this... Whether you choose us or we choose you or we get there, what I like about this problem that you're solving is it's so worthy of your time. Who knows, it could be something! But it is real, it's worthy, it's... very cool. Congratulations. It's hard to find something that so early, with something so broad, so fragile, you can still get enough visibility to look and say, yup, this is worth a decade of my life."
