It's like the ultimate tailwind.
And frankly, I think the only mistake I ever made was selling it to other companies because they've all just gotten more valuable because this market keeps growing.
And the good news for us, I think it's going to continue another 30 years.
And this is, I think, some Battery Ventures data.
But the market's going to 10x again.
So frankly, I like to think of it, if you do nothing, your business will be 10 times bigger.
And I think this is really cool, the software industry.
Yes, we have over 100,000 apps now on G2, and it just keeps growing.
So I think we all have this amazing tailwind because there is now purpose-built software for
every industry and you all are creating it.
Like I was just, we were just talking like for tax advisors and it's amazing entrepreneurs just keep building better and better apps for more and more business and functions.
And I think a part of our strategy is also we'd like to partner with giants.
Like I said, our success, I'm very thankful to Mark Benioff because really thanks to him, big machines and his ecosystem, same thing with Steelbrick.
Now they're also an investor in G2.
But I think partnering also with giants, we partner with AWS Marketplace, we partner with Microsoft Azure, we partner with IBM BreadHat.
So three of the four largest cloud marketplaces in the world are now powered by G2 reviews.
And because not everyone comes to G2.com yet, and so we said, hey, let's put it where the buyers are going.
And so now your reviews that are on G2.com will also go to these marketplaces.
I like to look at this as a trillion dollar arms race.
And between Microsoft, Google, Amazon, they're all literally, I think, betting on trillions.
