It had like a computer tower inside of it.

And then it had like a little screen next to it.

So they started this machine and they basically moved over to the screen and the screen showed like as clear as day, like a photo of the, you can see the exact gun.

You could see it in 3D, you could see it in 2D, you could see it in power.

There's a bunch of other ways we can look at the data, but it's just like crystal clear.

Wow.

And I was like, what happened here?

Like, we basically got to the end of this program and we don't have any more funding, so it's done.

And I basically made the decision, you know, long story short, I ended up chasing Archer at the time.

I went and built Archer.

And at the time I only had like, you know, this was a big endeavor for me, like going from software, like, you know, deep tech hardware.

So I basically decided to put cover on hold and, you know, chase Archer.

And then about two years ago, somebody came to my office, one of my investors, and was like, hey, I'm like looking at like trying to solve school shootings.

I was just back from LA and I'm like trying to solve it with CCTVs, like the security cameras.

He's like, the problem is, like, you can't, you won't know until the gun goes off.

And you won't, like, brandish your gun, you won't pull the gun up until you're, like, trying to, like, shoot it.

So it's just, like, way too late.

And I told him the story about how I went down this path and here, and he kind of looked me dead in the eyes.

He's like, I have kids and you have kids.

Like, you have a fiduciary duty to go build this.
