You couldn't get more volatile markets in the last few years.

And strangely, we were really concerned that the meltdown in Silicon Valley Bank was going to be

was going to be sort of, you know, a real death blow to our funding process.

But actually our funding sped up after that, probably because people actually came to us saying, hey, I know you're not fully built yet, but can we subscribe to whatever you have?

So we've filled 10% so far.

We're selling the other 10%.

So we're actually selling at a $5 million valuation.

Well, it's not going to tell portfolio managers about SVB.
