Q Weren't you at Clorox before that? You were working on charcoal.
A One year. One year. Yeah, exactly. Salad dressing. But like, you're crazy to go join a taxi company because it's, you know, it's slow moving, it's heavily regulated, it's high capex. And like, those people just like, didn't spend two brain cells thinking about what Uber was actually building. And I feel like it's the same thing that people were saying to us in 2020. When, you know, we went out and started Construct. First of all, there's a lot of software companies. Secondly, there's a lot of physical world companies that don't need to look like really slow moving, high capex companies. And, you know, the only way we're going to get productivity is putting software into these spaces. And like, if you looked at the signals, even like four or five years ago, like the crisis was mounting. You know, we appreciate the markups that come from everyone piling into these spaces. We're also now the prices are going up like, you know, to a crazy amount, obviously on, on some of these early stage stuff, because a lot of people who like would never give these spaces kind of a second look are now the voting half of their, I don't know, billion and a half dollar funds to them all over the place. So anyway, it's an interesting time. People actually come through DC. It's great for our large conference room, which now gets use, and good for the existing funds and the portfolio.
