When we look to work with investors to bring them into specific funds or other types of models, the whole goal is the alignment of values. All the groups that participate in any given investment opportunity need to align fundamentally with the social outcome they are all meant to achieve. In some cases this might mean that that particular investor might not be the right fit for the outcome or for the investee who is seeking that capital. So, really, the fundamental question for me is how those values are aligned and how they are structured into the investment opportunity itself. I would always want to have all of the participants who are involved in any particular structuring to be at the table to define what those outcome metrics could be and what kind of longer term or more immeasurable kind of outcomes, like economic development and so forth, there could be. For me, it's often harder to say no or to say, your capital is fantastic but it's not actually aligned with the outcomes we're trying to achieve. Projects can often get derailed, as you say, if those alignments aren't fully thought through. So I would think of that, the value base, as the first thing to consider.
