Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q And what you feel will be too risky for, you know, your investors, your, your institutionally backed. How do you think about those stunts with venture capital and raising money from an institution like A-sixty and Z?
A Yeah, um, so maybe we'll talk a little bit about how Roy thinks about it, which is, you know, the difference between the tolerance, if you will, of the spiciness of the content, whether it's in Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter, and I think Twitter is probably a little bit more polarizing, or X is a little more polarizing, and people react with a lot more Uh, animation, if you will. So I, I think, um, he sort of figured that zone pretty well, and that zone to me is probably pretty wide. Right. It's not like this exact type of content will work and that type of content won't work. There's some, um, or range of content that will work any sort of, uh, tiptoeing around those areas to figure out what works. And I think sort of you learn through experience a little bit there. So that's part one. I think two is your question is how do you think about sort of when it's institutionally backed, like what are some of these stunts? And, um, I think the way I think about it is this. Ultimately, we want to back companies that become generational and become very, very large. And a lot of the origin story of companies can be questioned when looked back in from the history or from sort of current looking back, like Facebook started was hard or not. Snapchat's beginning at Stanford campus was, you know, they had a very specific utilization element. And, you know, I think a lot of these Products. Whe…

Q So in the comment section, the biggest question people had was, what is he going to do with fifteen million dollars and why would an investor put fifteen million dollars into this company? So what is he going to do with this money and how'd you gain conviction for that?
A Yeah, I think, um, you probably asked this question to him as well. It's interesting. Venture is a little bit of triangulation art, right? It's not just, hey, like, tell me exactly what you need. I'll give you that X amount plus 20% for buffer, and here you go. Because sometimes that doesn't work for a fund like us. We do have some ownership requirement given the size of the fund and how big we need to believe the company becomes and There's some triangulation of where that needs to work. So maybe the founder says, Hey, like I have a need for thirty million dollars, but that risk profile doesn't work for us and we can only afford less amount. And the opposite can be true where, Hey, maybe I just need two, but maybe you want five because you know, the ownership requirement, everything sort of works. Uh, that would be the only way that work for us. So there part one, there's a little bit of triangulation there. Part two, I think if you think you met Roy and the internet has met Roy, he's a very ambitious, very ambitious founder. And for very ambitious founders, it's interesting, especially when growth is so quick, capital actually allows you to do certain things. And I'll give you one example would be actually lowering the hurdle for your product to be used in more of a free manner and turning a little bit more into freemium where you know there'll be a conversion, you know the p…
