you are doing investment you are building how you are making a balance between because you come from an investment background right you come from a corporate background and you mentioned that you are keeping a budget for your

product right how difficult it is yes because it becomes your baby right how becomes difficult to stop yourself this is the hard limit

And if I'm honest, this is actually something that I am grappling with as we speak, because you can approach something with a very idea coming straight from your brain.

It's something that you say, okay, in terms of making sense, it makes sense for me to say, this is the hard line in the sand.

But then once you are in it and you see this baby of a startup, of a business grow and develop, you are like, do I really have to be that strict? And it's like when you have a child, I have an eight-year-old daughter, and sometimes you try to be strict, and then you kind of change your mind and say, oh, perhaps I was a little bit too strict, and you try to search for their balance.

And It's never as you wrote it down on paper, right? You always want to make sure that you make the best decision.

And oftentimes, walking the walk and talking the talk are two very different things.

But I think it's very important because especially if you're not just an investor cutting an angel check where that's the amount, it's set in stone, The startup gets it and if they need more or if they run out of it, then they need to ask for another round of investment or they need to make sure that the company starts producing the results.

But I am trying to make sure that there is discipline as well in the way we are spending the funds that we have.
