00:00:00
huh
00:00:02
say well right now
00:00:06
thank you very much for the morning laces element of
00:00:11
um let me just recap we have here chaney berkeley his uh c. oh
00:00:16
out eventually and he's investing in projects related to uh yeah i
00:00:21
or takes instead of things and uh his point is it's all about the network effect
00:00:28
and then we have cassie than a few from suburban capital um i had found
00:00:34
and an accelerator and his point is what jane start else they need us
00:00:41
and then we have a ditch obvious from conceal a um can say listen accelerator and
00:00:49
investor in importance startups and had eddie has a lot of experience in china
00:00:54
i don't know what his point is but i'll make sure to asking later yeah
00:00:59
i'm finally we have richard your head from all the notion
00:01:06
um and also has been involved in starting funding and building internet businesses
00:01:12
he says the trip to whom is much more than just a new model
00:01:18
of crowd founding vocalisation will lead to bad to allocate capital
00:01:25
and to start we all know that there are there
00:01:29
is more money going to watch and start else
00:01:33
via i. c. o. stand venture capital william already said that but my first question would be
00:01:40
have you been surprised how fast this one and um or
00:01:44
what was it more like i told you so
00:01:47
can see start shock that one um stuff away of super surprised
00:01:52
the velocity of changes in the plot chain funding spaces changing
00:01:56
um so fast in so many ways uh it's catching everybody that's price
00:02:01
special silicone valley theses as well there's so much formal going well
00:02:06
and um with all the regulatory changes that's very fast paced
00:02:10
oh so many new thinking and so many new process of getting developed yeah
00:02:16
okay is there anybody who disagrees in the sense i well i was surprised
00:02:22
i was like yeah points um i was a kicking around in twenty
00:02:27
thirteen and a lot of people have got rich pedigrees this basis
00:02:31
uh uh you know we've we've been through a couple of weeks is already in terms of the progress as a at that point in time i didn't
00:02:37
think it was moving fast at all um and and even now you know
00:02:41
there's a a lot of you know noise and and and heat
00:02:45
um and then the reason progress but uh you know i think we still got a along part go to to
00:02:50
really even understand how we embrace is the opportunity and and make
00:02:54
the changes to depression vesting and and so forth and
00:02:59
okay um what are the biggest differences between i. c. e. o.'s and traditional v. c. when it
00:03:05
comes to funding uh startups um i know there are at town of our humans um that
00:03:12
why a box and uh i see those are appealing but i just wanna hear your favourite one frame
00:03:19
uh yes i mean i think the key distinctions and uh um best thing and all that
00:03:25
stuff and uh so uh if if executed well the investing in that actually called me
00:03:32
uh i'm actually you're packing it coming it's it's actually to lasso whilst uh
00:03:36
and of course you have fiscal two units of actively seeking the project
00:03:41
uh and i can't but i think it fits uh ca and the reality is if it's done correctly
00:03:46
it should be an open source project uh and that kind of really changes the the dynamics because
00:03:52
if you look at a typical v. c. investing in ninety percent to start with file
00:03:58
uh and and all that he was lost and generally you know it's all know how can i the team to supplied
00:04:04
um so that's really inefficient allocation of capital is really inefficient way to do innovation
00:04:09
and what's most excited about the spaces the um copies of previously developing proprietor technology
00:04:16
and probably on that trajectory of that in ninety percent that will file
00:04:21
um on our looking at open sourcing there i pay seventy that's the most exciting thing
00:04:26
but it also makes 'em investing the space i think last fragile which is why
00:04:32
um i mean you know you you can talk about evaluations all this kind of stuff but you're not
00:04:35
valuing a stock so your valuing the ability the community
00:04:39
to execute 'em on an open source project
00:04:43
to a great thing there is that it's much less likely to fail um because even
00:04:48
if anyone teen files to execute it's like consoles the committee can pick it up
00:04:53
um so i i look at almost as a as a relay race rather than a a sprint huh okay
00:05:00
richard yet but i did pick up on that but uh i think it by much doesn't agree i'm uh
00:05:04
also like to thank all the folders in such a tremendous of that thing will rates and by
00:05:09
it people are are here and then you know stepping back a little bit and i started
00:05:15
a building separate companies back in uh the not the on nineties and whether i um
00:05:20
look at this is that um this is kind of the fourth age of open source
00:05:25
and you have to kind of very early stage when it was um the the total parts and maverick
00:05:30
so maybe the defence contractors who are involved in and then you have the efforts to fund it
00:05:36
no this isn't so what and then we've kind of got him to the
00:05:41
age now when open source is being captured by the take a corpse
00:05:47
make money out of our data and software they don't actually i'm i'm and now this age is exciting
00:05:54
because there's of an alternative a form of funding and i and i agree with jamie that
00:06:00
some of the network effects there and the strength of the community mean
00:06:03
then maybe some inner downside protection um and it's exciting because
00:06:09
we have this fundamental invention around consensus algorithms um what
00:06:14
i've taken to calling a truth as a service um
00:06:18
should get into interesting philosophical debates about what
00:06:21
ruth is um and i think you've when you combine those building blocks of open source software
00:06:28
with the building blocks of you know truth as a service and the network effects that are possible um there's just a from
00:06:35
normal wave of um companies to be built all communities to develop
00:06:40
going forward and that's a great opportunity for enter investing
00:06:44
okay you're talking about the network effect eddie um do you see something different or
00:06:50
is that your main point as as well oh why's it so appealing
00:06:55
years they've i think a network effect is a big part of these equation um
00:07:02
i you know if i if i look at it in a very personal
00:07:05
manner i remember in the nineties uh you know we make a
00:07:09
lot of these parallel between the nineties the you know all the i.
00:07:12
p. o.s at the end of the nineties and these team of
00:07:16
i seals currently i see a lot of parallels lacy magazines drawing i see events
00:07:22
getting full and and filled with a lot of people which is great
00:07:26
and also remember that in the nineties when i discovered internet and
00:07:29
i may be the case for the people i was thinking
00:07:33
you know if i could just get one dollar from anyone connected
00:07:37
on the internet i could find so many things right
00:07:41
and the main barrier to find anything we one dollar back in the nineties was
00:07:46
um first of all that was not that easy us today to send
00:07:49
money around of course all the technical part with the currency
00:07:53
but of course the regulated party we're not supposed to solicit money from
00:07:57
everywhere around the world right so i think they i seal
00:08:01
has been opening the doors to something that the internet uh could
00:08:05
have been don't could've been doing before just basically tap into
00:08:09
the well of of the whole plan it really and the only limit is
00:08:14
today still of course the regulate we won but you know you still have people interested
00:08:19
all over the world to participate in in large companies now we all know that
00:08:24
you know it's not so easy to be infeasible going google because you
00:08:28
know you don't actually have access to the right people at
00:08:30
the right time except sure what is off a lot of interest to me now with the a seals is this kind of
00:08:37
if we go back in time so two thousand thirteen i start investing the space i
00:08:41
saw a lot of challenges that the startup tab and i feel that ice y'all
00:08:46
partly of feels these challenges i think they were challenges in terms of
00:08:51
explaining to the sees a their model so sometimes the model didn't
00:08:55
make sense commercially you know very early i mean like jamie was
00:08:59
saying open source it doesn't make sense when you tell people
00:09:02
gonna on the company that doesn't all my p. right so how do you
00:09:06
make money and then you have to go to the commercial model but
00:09:09
for many of these companies including the ones that are doing i see all the commercial
00:09:14
model and liabilities not here so so what what what does that mean for traditional
00:09:19
this is too they miss out or day on on the way down
00:09:24
uh if you do they miss out right now by not being in this scene i sealed yes
00:09:28
yeah i think so i think so i think uh we're
00:09:31
lucky because we are investors in the space so naturally
00:09:36
we came into the ice you will buy a because we were in the space in the
00:09:41
first place not because we chose to start investing and i sealed but just because
00:09:44
a lot of the companies like talk to now they say hey we don't want equity we don't
00:09:48
want your money and give you shears we just we just want to um you know
00:09:52
we just want we should tokens and and try to take advantage of that yeah i'm gonna
00:09:56
build a one of a these points um i i look at you know to
00:10:00
and and then talk about the second one but i i totally agree that you
00:10:04
know the question of the global allocation of capital is the most exciting one
00:10:09
so in about two thousand seven i was told by hate for and a
00:10:13
headphone friend of mine that um that was some very small single digit
00:10:18
of the world financial assets on the man for the what allocated to alternative investments
00:10:23
um i was astonished that it was just a few single you know the single digits and i was that
00:10:27
it's thomas that alternative assets included all the venture capital and all
00:10:31
the private equity and real estate and for me this is
00:10:35
is a star guy this is crazy that such a small amount of capital was allocated that way in the the
00:10:41
rest the planet was service sitting on my cash when we could be actually improving the wealth and
00:10:47
yeah i think you actually the numbers are a little bit higher that as a as
00:10:51
a percentage i think and it's kind of improving gradually but it's still got a
00:10:54
long way to go and we can if we can unlock that and then do it
00:10:57
in an intelligent way that's a tremendous opportunity but with the point about venture
00:11:04
yep i think obviously venture capital funds at the moment may be
00:11:08
constrained by that the limited partner agreements from investing and becomes
00:11:13
a more normal securities but of course that's something that can
00:11:17
be accommodated of and my point would be that um
00:11:21
the very essence of great adventure investing is the relationship you
00:11:26
can try to develop an when with the the
00:11:29
option uh and that is absolutely call even if these new projects are emerging because you have to be
00:11:36
at at the the point which you need to invest that maybe all of the race
00:11:39
and i but i i would say the games change slightly in that and so
00:11:45
i think somebody on one of the previous panel side and he felt that tokens and words and
00:11:52
put a shadow on equities inviting the feature now that's debatable but one one things to show
00:11:59
but the contagion of tokens is breaking after plot changes going into a lot the task example ally
00:12:04
well well we well we invest where you need network effect you need lots of data and
00:12:10
so i definitely think it's it's it's something that's gonna become a trend and
00:12:14
um the challenge at the moment is is as you said you know i know a lot of feces that were previously saying well we have got um she whether
00:12:20
l. p.'s we call invest in these and i found a way around it i had her capital all of them and uh any number of others and
00:12:27
so i think that's a problem i think the problem ultimately is um i'm sure we we'll get is people don't come to
00:12:33
us for money i mean really you know they can raise more money than we've got enough runs right in thirty minutes
00:12:39
you know so i um what what i wanted somebody
00:12:42
to help navigate spice and and right now
00:12:47
well we're investing really had a it's in in what the what happened with which
00:12:51
is these uh building titular colonies so this new dissipated quick to economics
00:12:56
um which many dismay since i will you call having a form of activities it's not unusual economics is basically
00:13:02
how can you and take behavioural economics and start to have these things um design
00:13:08
bottom up with fiscal policy much you policy to behave like comments and
00:13:13
i think you're right now what we're doing is we're laying the foundations for the next
00:13:18
a digital infrastructure next call means um and that full and as investors what
00:13:23
what what the communities need is guidance on how how structure these things
00:13:29
um and most difficulties we just don't have factor than not native to the
00:13:32
spice i'm not saying we have they also that it's it's uh
00:13:36
totally new space but for example uh we have a pop shit with
00:13:41
imperial college and the economics department and the computer science department
00:13:45
um and so when we we're we we're really invest now when tokens where we're involved in the bottom up design
00:13:51
um it leveraging imperial and to build incentives and disincentives to make sure the sink the haitian right why
00:13:58
and the more even simulating how how that performs the lab environment using supercomputers the scale site
00:14:04
um there it's finding different ways to provide value in a system that
00:14:08
and it's definitely not only just capital but uh yeah like richard
00:14:13
said before uh what is important is also the the the relationship uh
00:14:18
to the start ups and if you buy shares um what
00:14:22
as as a traditional v. c. you stay with the company but with token sales so you should
00:14:27
be locked in you show up in something but that's not so they don't yeah because
00:14:33
i i'm i'm sure you got all expand on this but i think that a lot of traditional theses that would be done things on these
00:14:38
only i shy market this year because i want a liquidity events and
00:14:43
so so they don't want to be locked in but for
00:14:45
example we we ought to be locked or not are all holding fascists alongside the fan things to but i don't know what
00:14:51
carol office a lot more flexibility into in terms of liquidity standpoint
00:14:56
well making found that the v. c. model sure you can
00:14:59
you get you get the option where is nasa team an awfully passers love option she'll cash at some points that's
00:15:05
not especially well i think they don't want i don't really wanna long they wanna trade yeah yeah but the one that
00:15:11
one of the best that it's gonna support the no it also in the way it it's more to centralise so
00:15:17
previously in the v. c. model where you know a lot of lunch yes i have
00:15:21
to go to different locations you know for example silicon valley to get funding
00:15:25
where is in this case like which is that it's more colourblind vision and also
00:15:30
in terms of category wise obscene tremendous amount of new innovation in new
00:15:34
categories because lot change a lot some potential for different industries so i see
00:15:40
in addition should the traditional d. c. pattern matching on teen product
00:15:44
there's also level innovation turns off the sky no businesses that can
00:15:48
be a lot in this new funding mechanism okay um
00:15:53
and adding these explain something to me now we see big traditional v. c.
00:15:59
invest in them you watch a movie season in funds and things that they don't lead directly why don't they do
00:16:06
it right now is it just because of a a regulation or or other things and will that change
00:16:13
um yes i mean what which i was referring to is it is
00:16:17
a lot of the seas have um mandates from the limited partners
00:16:20
and the that that could restrict the type of uh investment they
00:16:25
do we don't have any mandate we're structure as an investment
00:16:28
company so we can do whatever we want and so basically we could
00:16:31
invest in any kind kind of facets but um yeah so
00:16:35
in that sense uh also what is interesting because you're talking about
00:16:38
locking before what is interesting is more transparent today so basically
00:16:43
if people follow closely the ice he'll they would they would be
00:16:47
able to know if the some of the large stakeholders are
00:16:50
actually selling or not the tokens so it's quite interesting there's not usually the case with the v. c. l. v. c.
00:16:57
i mean we are uh on the stock exchange but the seas are generally not on the stock exchange so they would
00:17:02
be able to sell their steak and nobody nulls right well they don't really need to probably size it still
00:17:08
i think the tokens in that sense give transparency to the relationship between investor and and the
00:17:13
startup and so of course it would be better to just to show that you're
00:17:18
supporting the menu not dumping the tokens uh two more stuff to the a seal or
00:17:22
order so i think that brings an additional layer for transparency in the process okay
00:17:28
klein yes we'll build on that so i mean the the beauty of the internet the beauty of this is that there's
00:17:34
the capacity for commission this experimentation that applies on the products
00:17:38
i'd also applies obviously on the funding side result is
00:17:43
has been is gonna be the turbulence and uh that we have seen the volatility that was seen an
00:17:49
but at the end of the day you know uh really the best projects in the best
00:17:53
investor's gonna think about the reputation and never turns in a long time and so you know we'll
00:17:58
see your uh an invention of or what really works that includes lockout building on that point
00:18:04
and uh i was just reading something from michael cam overs and
00:18:07
down like apple and was suggesting for example that ventures
00:18:12
funds that invest in tokens should consider setting twenty five percent
00:18:16
of the holding if the price is done ten x.
00:18:20
'cause you can see that you know and uprising you can see transparent what's going on
00:18:25
i'm not saying that that's the right on some design that people are thinking about
00:18:28
what um use the right model that respects the interest of the oh he's
00:18:34
uh as well as the you know the the mission to build a great company
00:18:37
and is one of the one for the point that the jamie made
00:18:41
you know i think you know this is about uh octane it's about um it's inflation and um but it is
00:18:48
about a data that that with the service offering and
00:18:51
so i think this is incredible intersection between um
00:18:55
you know data run the sovereign individual and um zero
00:18:59
knowledge fruits and and artificial intelligence machine learning
00:19:03
that we're just beginning to to understand so i i don't think this is
00:19:06
a kind of small nation itself it's a kind of fundamental component of
00:19:11
many things maybe most yes it's it's the next battling little i
00:19:15
i like i like i still think of this as a nation it's anyone i can sit events like this or bump into people the planes
00:19:22
you know i'm gonna just typing something they looking so you're going to slice you haven't much i really need to be kept about once i think
00:19:28
in in public now and um and i still think it is this nation
00:19:32
we'll come to know each other from from the last few years
00:19:35
but this really is the next phase where um you know we're talking about our uh to centralise web architecture
00:19:42
and and i knew a funding mechanism in the killer after the third at the moment is it the
00:19:47
l. c. twenty right side and and it's a combination of these things that make it really interesting
00:19:53
but to just pick up all of the them points around and the idealised sonar is yes there's there's
00:20:00
more accountability but the record the sad reality is at the moment but this is incredibly high
00:20:05
market there's masses information asymmetry um so for example we would
00:20:10
never buy something on the second the market just
00:20:12
because i know how little i know i'm about that entity and so you know we only invest
00:20:19
uh in a handful of uh offerings where we're deeply involved in that entity
00:20:24
we can see what's going on um and i'm i'm we're actively involved
00:20:29
in i think ultimately the the family for the v. c. n. i. c.
00:20:33
d. c. in the space is to the signal to the market
00:20:36
um and so coming back to my earlier point i think you know if you're paying
00:20:41
twenty thirty deals like the old v. c. model that's a week a signal
00:20:45
been doing handful um i always kind of you know i it's hard to say what would my model b.
00:20:51
we get to the six train it's a spectrum buddy look actually been in the theory and you know when this was on the one that
00:20:57
it's major exposures to ether theory among everything he's done is build up
00:21:02
a business to support back community to execute with consensus and stuff
00:21:06
um and that's made in a very very wealthy man i'm rather than the typical v. c.
00:21:11
model 'cause ninety percent would fail where you have to have a portfolio of fifty or
00:21:15
so of uh i mean that that's just my personal perspective but i i do think
00:21:19
what are carefully consider what is the signal that were sent into the market 'cause
00:21:24
the minute that we have no plans we have no purpose 'cause again they don't need
00:21:28
so many of them all the time so so it's it's their shift in power
00:21:32
in um now with the rise of the icy oaths of more from investors
00:21:37
uh back to the founders of start up because they don't need
00:21:40
investors um and their money that much because they're lazy to
00:21:43
signal i mean there is signal that's important public company so this is one of the things is one of the
00:21:49
things i don't think people really consider so you're when you do and i see a review or public company
00:21:54
uh_huh and that's gonna be really big problem if you don't have a product you teams never worked together before
00:21:59
i mean you've got here hard slog ahead of you that would normally you know you gotta make
00:22:03
more mistakes when you know we get away with those now you're screwed the nicest gaelic identical it's going
00:22:09
to look to the you know um the parallel say for example with a man in london
00:22:15
um when you have sort of less mature companies perhaps get on a given problem stock exchange
00:22:20
you know i'm listing where um you know you gotta make sure that you continue to deliver
00:22:25
you know you don't wanna get into seduced by the short term capital returns you to think
00:22:30
about raising the right amount of money in the living room you are kind to effectively
00:22:34
sort of a long period of time so that's that's gimmicky and the the real when is
00:22:39
um will be the founders to uh can be you know sophisticated about the the capital raising and the
00:22:46
cowboys once you get away with stuff we could be more power to the founders right now
00:22:52
um because there is you know you're talking about a global network of impressive looking best thing you
00:22:57
know new projects at the same time also see that this funding model will continue to evolve
00:23:04
and the landscape wise i see you know just like the traditional v.
00:23:08
c. model there's the excel in or there's the seat and michael
00:23:11
b. c. and then later speech p. c.'s i think there is similarly
00:23:15
we're going to see the model given one one which are
00:23:18
and the different stages of um the investment firms we build on you know i
00:23:24
seals under which as this can someone one
00:23:28
whichever more branding around investment funds
00:23:32
we should uh power back a little bit putting masters lovely oh i mean
00:23:35
are so i'd i'd say i wouldn't say it shifted to the found
00:23:39
this because again you know that as as the say write your just one
00:23:45
investor in the market investors right so i actually think the powers
00:23:49
in the market yeah in the more just pasta that market where a signal in that market
00:23:54
um and so i i actually think and remember my sister's open source right
00:24:00
so if the founding team fell to actually keep they'll get full walked
00:24:04
you know whatever that's reality that so i'd say the power is unheard of the market
00:24:08
our role is just with one participant not market save the power shifted probably from the v. c. to the
00:24:14
but it's it's more open it's more it's rachel spend the supply demand where
00:24:18
where is you know the uh a silicon valley b. c. model everything's
00:24:22
on the rap in it's it's very close that reviewers everything is it's
00:24:26
a pure supply demand model okay at the only comment on that
00:24:30
uh yeah that was wanted to go back to the relationship between
00:24:34
investors and entrepreneurs i think it's interesting to see how this
00:24:37
is no at the same time change again not changing so for example uh jimmy made a good point you said
00:24:43
uh a lot of interpreters come to people like us and we don't consider i
00:24:46
mean i in my company we don't consider so really like the season
00:24:50
previous season you know seed investors ah and you're right you say they can't because
00:24:55
they want advice but what is interesting is that the comes thinking about
00:25:00
what they want and they don't even know what they need and that's something
00:25:04
we want a investors in general can bring to the table is that
00:25:09
at some point you know you were talking about listed companies in communication a lot
00:25:13
of companies in a lot of entrepreneurs may not want or may not
00:25:17
know that they need to hear the bad news you know the bad news
00:25:21
the top decisions you know the thing that you have to do you
00:25:24
a year after you started maybe uh you know because let's say you do a nice you in your is a lot of money ah
00:25:31
the there are many ways to spend it and a year later two years later you may find yourself with tough decisions to make
00:25:36
people to fire do you know the fork in the road there's was saying it's not always the market is also the founders have
00:25:42
to take these decisions and that's when you may need people with experience who have seen this problem over all the start ups
00:25:49
people have created startles before and this is where you know the mentor she the guidance part of the
00:25:55
v. c. d.'s or a investor really can be a business angel investor comes in so i think
00:26:01
that's a little bit the problem is that it's fine you that a lot of ice use may say well we don't need investors are
00:26:08
capital because we can raise the money well that's fine but that's not
00:26:12
the whole solution you need to to know how to handle
00:26:15
these and they're not you know if you don explains quite tough to do the minutes for the evolution here i think just like you
00:26:21
said on top of that i think i'm in five years this
00:26:24
you know this model will continue to evolve there will be
00:26:28
select what structure from the public you know all my answers that can step in
00:26:33
how these companies to the signal to the market that this is actually a
00:26:36
good team and get project that would continue survive actually i mean it seems they
00:26:40
like it from my experience but building companies myself but also investing now
00:26:45
and covering sort of seventy eighty different you know companies and being on multiple both
00:26:50
at the same time the time on the board when you're trying to
00:26:53
have our progress the company just even have a great functioning boardrooms that what
00:26:59
meetings and discuss the points in the right way and right whatever
00:27:02
that even before you get to the substance of the points you discussing is
00:27:07
is it's you put off okay and so you know i'm you know
00:27:10
i'm money can buy a lot of money can't buy you a like this
00:27:13
them all some boredom or some sort of spell that scales so
00:27:17
okay but i already running out of time yeah but i'm just just one more question ah um
00:27:23
i would like uh to hear your answers um what is your role otherwise or worse
00:27:28
so what would your advice to the traditional b. c.'s what should
00:27:32
they do now for star investing i seals proof okay
00:27:40
and they are already look at five point right there to have fifty million
00:27:43
dollars a v. c. funding um and i think that's going to be
00:27:48
a trend this little valley i'm more more the seas looking dude just
00:27:52
supported the past i seals and which they will be last couple
00:27:57
gained another couple display more more yeah i mean the best this is
00:28:02
already doing it is to say i'm guessing for for years
00:28:06
yeah inequity in in tokens in a mix of the two from as early as possible that there are unannounced
00:28:12
i see is that i am aware of with you know you know
00:28:15
actually you know the world's greatest into camp was already involved
00:28:19
um and and that would be the prof will uh there's gonna be a lot
00:28:23
of my projects uh_huh i i think for a few years now of a
00:28:28
the the money has not been them you know it's not enough to say and uh v. c. have some money you know because there
00:28:34
are a lot of sovereign phones a lot of fans of i've been
00:28:38
coming from anywhere really maybe even before i seals you know
00:28:41
grant funding with all its uh i would say uh you know it's not so easy you
00:28:46
but cut funding we've all it's the negative effects et cetera has been going on for
00:28:51
a while and uh so basically they they have always been alternatives to be seems ones
00:28:56
just thinking that the seas oh i think uh we already transitioning into these from
00:29:02
advisory mentor she's guidance roll you know and that's what we see law to the accelerators all around the world you know
00:29:09
a lot of v. a. b. c.'s are mentors to a lot of start ups so i think that's
00:29:13
the right direction and probably ice you could accelerate the direction because in the real as well
00:29:19
i have exactly the same age anymore so let's find something to bring so basically learning
00:29:24
you know the seas we just learn learn about the community learn about the
00:29:29
the space learn about what the founders need these days is that of a living
00:29:34
no i mean i think it's gonna be a tipping point so you know most of the people in
00:29:38
traditional p. c.'s the on the stand this space all the younger guys and they're leaving in setting
00:29:44
up their own phones but generally that's happening and then within their i think if you're just a
00:29:50
v. c. um or your capital manager and you're not gonna provide any additional value other than
00:29:56
yeah monitoring the market then effectively you more the hatch and um and so are you know i
00:30:02
i think that's gonna be the difference it is gonna be a certain point where uh
00:30:06
um typical l. p.s are gonna stock just giving money to receive it doesn't understand the space
00:30:12
and the con and any particular evaluating evaluate it's required
