In their words
i think for me what i look for at this for this stage company is is some level of true differentiation so either uh through technical or distribution ideally both together
the other thing is is as a deep understanding of kind of the problem space so um i really i really have to be convinced that you know the team really understands you know what they who they're solving for and and and are motivated to solve that in a very kind of long-term way
