Games changed.

Scale of technology is fundamentally different in what it can do.

How much time do we have?

It's going to take some time.

So look, I would say we very much view ourselves as a venture capital for AmeriCorps and a seed venture capital for AmeriCorps.

Because our true north for the 25 years we've been around has been meeting founders where they are.

And what that means is essentially help them navigate ambiguity in the past when they're sort of beginning and the business isn't clear, all the way to figuring out how to scale in the complex markets that they go into.

So everything we've done has been in that context of creating these catalysts, the flexible capital they need, the policy capabilities they need, the market access they need,

and there's sort of relationships globally to actually build a nearing company.

So that hasn't changed.

So why did we go acquire a health system in Ohio?

It was a nonprofit.

We worked with the attorney general, converted it.

And I say this, by the way, with a great sense of responsibility because that's a community in Akron, Ohio that we take care of.

So that hospital has to

continue operations in all the dimensions it takes care of with people.

Well, we bought it to actually have a place where we can work with our founders and transform with AI, create abundance and resilience for this health system so you can take care of the people a lot better.

Okay, and if we did that, then we can go do that for the other hundreds of systems across the country and be able to do that.

So some of it is, that's market access.

It's very hard for healthcare startups to go deploy successfully at scale in these systems.
