Are you looking to change the world and raise capital?

Do it at the NYSE.

The NYSE is a modern marketplace and a massive platform built for scale and long-term impact.

So if you're building for the future, the NYSE is where it happens.

One of the great companies of the AI era is, of course, CoreWeave.

They're building massive infrastructure for these hyperscalers.

And in some ways, Michael, Intrader, welcome to the program.

You're the original hyperscaler.

You guys got in very early and secured your, I don't know which GPUs you wound up getting.

You were very early to this trend.

How did you...

get to it so early and how did you build out this, you know, first, I guess at the time, Neocloud?

Yeah.

And crypto was a question mark at that time.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

I mean, Bitcoin was speculative and there were many other speculative projects.

The only other people using this type of hardware, quants, medical researchers.

And- Yeah, so you went from crypto to these researchers into academia and deep research.
