HW: In 2021 you partnered with growth firm TPG to bring them on as your primary investor, which I assume gave your current venture capital partners a chance to at least partially exit the business. We ended up partnering with two different funds at TPG; the TPG Growth Fund and the RISE Fund.

The partner at the fund, the VC, gets to do the fun part—the meeting with founders, vetting deals, negotiating, helping, etc. Access to the partner. If you’ve put money into a fund, I think it’s reasonable to expect that partner to check out the deal flow that you find on your own, and let you know what they think.
