And I started right when it, like I was one of the founding members on the Silicon Valley team and greater Bay area.

And so I was part of like what we call West West group.

And there, like my portfolio was to focus – there was different geographic area, like I said, and then also portfolio of topical industry areas.

So I focused on AI, gaming, and mixed reality to see who were the players that were up and coming in the early startup and then a little later than early startup because you want some smart money behind it to be able to then introduce an already –

Minimally viable, you know, MVP.

Yeah.

Past an MVP that could potentially be utilized for Army and then broader Department of Defense reasons, right?

And capabilities.

So I focus more on engaging with companies going through like TechCrunch.

You've heard of these, right?

TechCrunch Disrupt, 500 Startups, and then Y Combinator.

Okay.

So every six months you have a pitch day, right, from 500?

Yep.

I mean, I don't do these – I've normally done podcasts that are political.

So I can't go into depth with any – so I'm happy I can actually – Yeah, I can understand that.

Talk about these things.

So Y Combinator, right, is arguably the most –

capable and smart money-backed accelerator on the planet.

Yeah, so you have every six months, you've got demo day, pitch day, and then you have angel investors.
