And they're doing a great job, just different than the way I did it.
But the other thing that's important to me is I can't wait to get up in the morning and meet with a founder who's just...
you know, developed a submarine that has no crew that has defense capabilities for the country and you can't see it, it's stealth.
Or I've got a young guy I've done, I've already done one company with him.
I'm doing another one.
His name's Nima Gamsari.
I met him 17 years ago.
He was assigned to me at Palantir when I was one of the advisors to Alex Karp, who's a brilliant guy.
I was introduced to him by Peter Thiel, who had invested a lot of money in Palantir and there was no income.
He asked me to help monetize it, which shows that you don't have to be totally technical to be in the tech world.
And Nima was assigned to me to answer technical questions because he was a genius engineer.
We started a company together.
He had an idea that he could put a company together together.
called Blend, it's now public, that does mortgages on your phone in under 10 clicks.
Now he came up with another idea.
I just got him all the funding, including from us.
And I'm doing the marketing and he's hired the right engineers.
And it's a total incubation.
I can't tell you how much fun it is.
And I can't tell you how much I'm learning because I'm not an engineer, but I love the idea.
