And if that gives me more years of healthy life still, I can develop, sorry, I can benefit from whatever treatments are developed after that as well. So I think we're just living at this pivotal time where the longer you live, the more medical technology is going to be available. So I think, yeah, to sort of neglect your own health at a time like this is doing yourself a huge disservice.
anything else about the way we're living or the things we're doing anything else that that really affects our longevity that maybe people don't realize i think something that's been illustrated perhaps a bit more to us over the last year but still hasn't necessarily entered the consciousness is the importance of the prevention of infectious disease there's actually some quite good evidence that um children who grew up in environments of lower infection and obviously this really started to transform in the first part of the 20th century with
vaccines and antibiotics and improvements in hygiene kids started to be able to grow up without this huge spectrum of childhood diseases and what they found is that by looking back at this they seem to age better as well so it seems as though you know having less of that inflammation caused by disease throughout your life can improve um can improve your health in the longer term.
And we also know there are certain cancers that are specifically caused by particular viruses, particular bacteria. So I think avoiding infectious disease, quite apart from avoiding the immediate misery of being ill, is a really good thing to do to try and extend your lifespan overall.
And that's exactly what really excites me about this actual anti-aging medicine, real anti-aging medicine. Because the fact is that if we did cure cancer, unfortunately, we tend to treat these diseases in silos. So you find a lump, you might go to your general practitioner, your general practitioner refers you to an oncologist,
that oncologist will give you chemotherapy, maybe operate on your tumour, etc, etc. All of this is really focused on getting rid of that cancer, that single problem. But actually, you know, you might have a host of other problems by the age that you're traditionally diagnosed with cancer.
You might have diabetes, you might have a heart condition that's sort of nascent and not necessarily quite as advanced as the cancer yet. You've got all these other problems brewing.
But the point is that by treating the aging process, because we know that your risk of disease goes up exponentially with age, if we can sort of flatten that curve, we can reduce that exponential increase of disease, that can hit all of those diseases at the same time. It can reduce our risk of cancer, reduce our risk of heart disease, reduce our risk of dementia.
And it's also really important to say that it's not just the diseases, it's the frailty, it's the cognitive decline, it's the incontinence. All of these things aren't necessarily going to actually take your life, but dramatically reduce the quality of it. all of these things are caused by the same biological processes.
And so by intervening in these biological processes, we effectively will give you extra years, perhaps not in your 30s, depending on when you start taking the drugs. But if we can stretch out your 60s so they last 15 years in comparatively good health, then that's going to be a massive improvement over the situation we have today.
Thank you very much. Cheers.

So our initial raise, our bogey is a million.
And, you know, the goal with that is to get from, you know, where we are today, which is about 10-ish KMRR to 80, to a million, you know, basically that to get to that hurdle for the Series A.
All ready.
Yeah, so two great questions.
So Lighthouse PE is what we call a proximity engagement platform.
And essentially what we do is we help businesses better engage their customers to increase their customer lifetime value and increase their customer retention.
We do that.
The proximity comes in in our use of things like location, real-time location data.
That could be from geofencing.
