I'm ready to do it.

Well, I spend all my time on Chantico, actually.

So, you know, I have one last year as public service to LA County Employee Retirement Association, which I've done for six years.

And, you know, I launched Chantico Technology actually last year in 2021, or at the end of 2021.

And we got going in 2022 with fundraising and secured our first round of pre-feed funding.

in 2022.

So this has been what I live and breathe for since that moment.

Well, so I actually ran a consulting company for a decade.

And in that time period, and before that, I was a portfolio manager at American Century Investment Management, where I had started using recursive partitioning in addition to kind of your traditional regression analysis for data analysis.

What I found was that while regression was really good at guessing what the average expectation would be, recursive partitioning was really good at guessing the extremes.

When you ask, describe your product in five words, we forecast extreme events.

That's what we do.

Quite frankly, that's when we lose money as portfolio managers, and that's when we get hired as investment managers or wealth managers.

You know, I started crafting this product in the form of a consulting product about a decade ago.

So I spent, you know, once I had lifted out of Rubini Global Economics, where I had launched a consultancy that was profitable.

We were able to adequately spin that out.

I earned him out over three years.

And in that time period, I kind of gave myself the agenda and latitude to build the kind of research agenda I wanted to build.

And with my client base, really focused on this technology and effectively created the prototype for what would then to become the IP that we spun out into Chantico Technology.

And so that IP actually has 10 years of client testing behind it.
