- We just passed 1x DPI on our first “proper” fund from 2015 (with another >10x of TVPI to go 🤞)

Can't believe I never realized this immensely satisfying shit before:
6 x 5 x 2 minutes in an hour
8 x 3 hours in a day
7 days in a week
So every month has 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x [# of weeks] x 3 x 2 x 1 minutes in it.
So there are 8! minutes in February.
(Thanks @fermatslibrary)
