I don't think the large incumbents will actually be able to catch up.

So all these companies, even the ones who've raised a lot of money, like a Wealthrunner or Betterment, even the ones who have already consumers and lots of assets under management, I find it really difficult to predict that one or the other will succeed because there's still so many outstanding, so many question marks.

is that the incumbents are waking up to this now, the corporations that are figuring out, oh, my God, we're about to miss the train.

So the interesting thing is how will these organizations, how will a wealth front or a betterment manage to partner with the right large corporations to deliver a better service and make their business sustainable?

Because at the moment, I'm still kind of curious to see how sustainable these businesses are, either model.
