It's only been a year or so.
We've had one of our groups or one of our companies that we've invested in land a large government contract at the Children's Museum.
They deal with food quality for children.
She deals with food quality for infants and adolescents and things like that.
And they apply for
According to them, they applied to get this contract through the museum a few times, and then they got denied.
And then once people saw that we were connected through our accelerator program, the contract got approved.
So now that puts them in more doors, gives them more visibility, and I think they're on the way to being successful.
It's also a hair care line that's doing really well.
I think they're probably doing the best out of all of our groups.
I forget the name right now of the company, but it's a hair care group that's from Boston that we've also invested in in the last year.
They were already very talented, but they're starting to emerge and they're able to get other people to invest as well.
And that's a part of it.
We wanted to just create the motion for other people to be able to see the talent that's here.
because now they're getting some notoriety and now they're able to go and get into doors that maybe they weren't able to get into before.
That's a part of it.
Just creating that social capital is a step of it.
We don't want to just give companies money and just disappear and just think like we have programming that they come and sign up how to better their business.
They did programming at Harvard that they had to go through.
They had programming at MIT that they had to go through how to develop.
