As of the last six months ago now, nothing.

They just don't do this stuff.

I just made $110 million, or just sold the company for $110 million.

I made a lot of money personally.

Ended up going all in on Archer through the IPO, through going public.

I put all the money I basically had.

I bought a house and the rest of the money went all into it.

And it was a stressful period.

So we went public through a SPAC.

And the reason it was tough is we ended up getting to a point where we just couldn't raise enough money privately.

Like it was either like raise, you know, $100 million privately at like, you know, some valuation, three, four or $500 million, or it was like go public and raise like a billion dollars.

Wow.

And we ended up going public and raising a billion dollars.

Wow.

You've got a huge appetite for risk, huh?

And we got sued during it.

oh really yeah like we got sued by uh basically like boeing in a big uh big startup that was founded by larry page google founder and uh that's gotta be intimidating yeah it was uh i woke up to like a front page of new york times article about oh yeah it was uh it was crazy i mean the backstory is i um the i took so larry page started a company and um in the bay area

about 10 years ago called Kitty Hawk.

And they did a great work over like 10 years in electric VTOL aircraft.

And I ended up taking basically the core, like the core 10 to 15 folks that were there all came over to Archer.
