Oh, wow. voice-verified

Well, uh that brings me to a question about about capital. voice-verified

I I joked at the top that, you know, everyone's freaking out about humanoid robots and throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at companies that haven't really built something that people need to use yet. voice-verified

Um I I I forget the exact number that Dusty's raised. voice-verified

I think it was something like seventy million give or take, Dessa, somewhere in there. voice-verified

Okay. voice-verified

Ah, good. voice-verified

So I I was curious. voice-verified

Earlier you mentioned, you know, you stock up on long lead parts, that's not cheap. voice-verified

Building technology, not cheap. voice-verified

Going to market, not cheap. voice-verified

Having two booths at World of Concrete, not cheap. voice-verified

Um, given the amount of money that's available for humanoid robots, is there a similar amount of capital that companies like yours can access in the venture world today? voice-verified

Or are all the VCs so befuddled by humanoids that you're being left um outside? voice-verified

If that makes sense. voice-verified

that fact, yeah. voice-verified

I I agree with that. voice-verified

But when you say that's what we've publicly announced, uh regarding how much money you've raised, that implies to me that you've raised money that I don't know about. voice-verified

Am I voice-verified

reading the implication there correctly? voice-verified
