Why is that?

We went public through a SPAC process.

So you know SPACs at the time, four or five years ago were all the rage.

And it was a special purpose acquisition company.

So it was basically companies that were going public through a merger, a reverse merger.

And it was hard because in 2018, 2019, coming off of software, I had never done hardware before.

So A, it was hard to raise capital.

And B, there was nobody funding

like, deep tech, electric vertical takeoff and landing, like, companies.

Like, you know what I mean?

The big venture capital groups were not funding SpaceX or Tesla or Rivian.

Like, none of these were getting funded by traditional investors.

They weren't raising money from the named investors we all know about now.

Oh, shit.

Are they always behind like that?

The mandate for most of these VCs in the Bay Area or Silicon Valley and stuff are not to do hardware.

And if they do hardware, they don't do deep tech.

They don't do like rockets and autonomous vehicles.

And I don't think there's a single top VC in the US that's invested in a humanoid company.

No shit.
