Yeah, this is truly little tech, you know. When we talk about little tech, this is it. I think the average team is two to three people. They are running their companies not in their office, not in a co-working space. They're running it at the kitchen table.

對，這就是真正的 little tech。我們談 little tech 時，說的就是這個。平均團隊兩到三個人。他們不在辦公室、不在聯合辦公空間運營公司，而是在廚房餐桌上運營。

For us, one of the really magical things, something that I take a lot of just personal pride and excitement in, is the idea that we are not just waiting for entrepreneurs to show up at our doorstep at A16Z. But we're actually helping create the companies in the first place.

對我們來說，一件真正神奇的事，也是我個人非常自豪和興奮的，是我們不只是在 a16z 等著創業者出現在門口，而是實際上在幫著把公司創造出來。

Then you'll have another, you know, if that's if that's like five and 10 companies, you'll have another, you know, two or three where you make a little money and then all all all the money is made in that. kind of top decile, you know, the one out of 10 that really where you get the grand slam.

然後，如果那是五到十家公司，你會有另外兩三家能賺一點錢，而所有的錢都賺在頭部十分之一那家——十分之一里打出全壘打的那家。

They don't, like, these guys, like, don't have, you know, they don't have lobbyists. They don't have, you know, they're not involved in the political process. They're not really represented in all these ways because, frankly, they just don't have time.

這些人沒有遊說者。他們不參與政治過程。他們在這些方面沒有被真正代表，因為坦白說，他們就是沒時間。

Well, and and and their timeline, a startup, a two person startups timeline, not only is it not a year, like you may not know if you have a company in a year. Right. It may not even be six months. It may not even be three months.

而且他們的時間表，一個兩人的創業公司的時間表，不只是不到一年——你可能一年都不知道自己有沒有一家公司。可能連六個月都不到。可能連三個月都不到。

I think I think there's some interesting stats about how nearly 50 percent of venture backed startups are first generation immigrants, for example, you know, people who who relocate in order to do it.

我記得有一些有意思的統計，比如接近 50% 的風投支持的創業公司是第一代移民，也就是為了創業而搬遷的人。

I think the first is to just have them understand that it's a choice whether or not each state or each city wants to have startups or not. If you want to have startups, you have to do things to make it conducive to having startups.

第一點是讓他們明白，每個州或每個城市要不要有創業公司，是一個選擇。如果你想要有創業公司，你就得做一些讓創業公司能生長的事。
