Q get to these companies when they're ten million dollars in 10 people and put that first check in. But then I saw this news item go by a month ago that you raised nine billion. And then I see you're buying companies. So are you out of the seed business and now doing random acts of private equity? What's going on here? Explain to me the strategy and general catalyst.
A How much time do we have? It's gonna take some time. So, so look, I would say, um, uh, we very much view ourselves as a venture capital from our core and a seed venture capital from our core, because our true north from, for the 25 years we've been around has been meeting founders where they are. And what that means is essentially help them navigate ambiguity in the past when they're sort of beginning and the business isn't clear, uh, all the way to figuring out how to scale in the complex markets that they go into. So everything we've done has been in that context of creating these catalysts, the flexible capital they need, the policy capabilities they need, the market access they need, uh, and those sort of relationships globally to actually build enduring companies. So that hasn't changed. So, so why did we go, um, you know, uh, acquire a health system in, uh, uh, Ohio? It was a nonprofit. We worked with the attorney general, converted it. And I say this, by the way, with a great sense of responsibility, because that's a community of, Uh, in Akron, Ohio that we take care of. So that hospital has to continue operations in all the dimensions it takes care of, um, with people, but we bought it to actually have a place where we can work with our founders and transform with AI, create abundance and resilience for this health system. So you can take care of the people a lot better…
