So we did a deal with Sonobol to bring Foundry University to Riyadh.

And we were going to have 25 companies, mostly Saudi nationals, and then teach them how to build companies and the best practices from America.

We had so many applications, it went to 50.

Then it was like all these people we know trying to get people into the program.

So we wound up with 60 companies.

And I spent three days working with them.

really great like FinTech, construction technology, real estate stuff.

It was really inspiring.

And I saw all of our friends from Saudi there.

And then- I saw that.

I think, did you have Tariq from Humane actually talk to the founders?

Yeah, Tariq came.

Yeah.

And he made an offer to them to give them, he matched the Google offer for cloud computing with all of them.

So just giving them a bunch of credits.

And yeah, Tariq came by.

And it was really nice of him to come by.

He was going to his board meeting and he came

to speak to, you know, 60 founders 70, but they were probably like, there's 60 teams, but maybe like 90 founders in the room, like it's a tiny little thing.

And a lot of people came out to support it, because they're trying to get more domestic, you know, startups.
