**How do we select companies?**

What qualifies a developer tools company is:
- **Core Business**: The company's operations should primarily revolve around providing tools, platforms, or services intended for use by developers.

- **User Base**: The company's product or service should primarily cater to software developers.

- **Impact on the Development Process**: The company's product or service should significantly impact the software development process.

- **Market**: The company's marketing efforts are targeting developers. The company's Go-To-Market and sales strategy focuses on developers and their personas.
    A real-life example from previous Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer:
