We invested them.

Morgan, Shopify, ServiceNow.

Acquired

That's one.

Acquired

If you were to propose going and creating an acquired for sports...

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

You would, the sort of risk I guess we took, we didn't think about it as risk at the time because it was just a hobby, was you're looking at years of no or little monetization.
