So Delphi-
It's expert knowledge collection and accessibility being used by Harvard professors and not in a broad way, but just an early pilot.
Because remember, they've just kind of come out of this year.
And then that's Delphi AI.
The second one got their 10.3 million seed just in November this month, and led by Mayfield Ventures, which is a major venture capital firm here, probably one of the major players behind Google, if I recall correctly.
And it's called UARE.AI, capital U-A-R-E.AI.
And it originally started a while ago in 2024 as Eternos with a focus on this personal digital legacy and preservation of human life.
But they pivoted and the C rounding of 10.3 million is focused on something a little different, which is professionals and creators and the accessibility, just like the Delphi model, which is getting a little bit of traction.
And so they pivoted become instead of Eternos, which is this kind of.
apocryphal you know here's the crematoria and here's my eternos archive that's a little somber instead they're going towards creatives and so on
They're notable.
They had a lot of press that came out around a person who was terminally ill named Michael Bomber.
I think somebody in the chat could figure out who he was, but I think he's a notable person in history, recent history.
And he spent 25 hours using this platform to create his digital replica before he passed away.
And then there's the third one, which is called Vivin, V-I-V-E-N.
And it got a $35 million seed round in October, led by Foundation Capital, which is a major, major player.
And Mayfield was also investing in this.
So Mayfield Fund has two investments in this area.
So they really believe strongly in this.
Typically, you'd make a decision, you'd invest in one such player.
