Okay.

you're not technical.

Well, no, now you have AI and you can vibe code something at least.

So I think it's actually interestingly enough, less so on that.

I think what people are most missing actually is number one, the understanding of how to actually build kind of like what you were saying before, how do you actually get a product to market?

I think that is absolutely has become more important than ever.

And number two, I think it's also fast access to funding.

And so there's this massive, massive gap right now where if you have got the pedigree,

that VCs are looking for, it's really, really easy to raise.

If you've dropped out of Stanford or Harvard, you go out to Silicon Valley and anybody is just opening up their wallets and giving you a couple of million dollars.

If you haven't, though, it's really hard.

And I think that perhaps because of the concentration of investment in those companies, it may even be harder than ever, especially because everybody knows now you've just got to back winners.

And there are some massive, massive companies that have been these...

sinks maybe as a negative way of describing it, but at least have been this these huge, huge magnets for attracting more and more capital.

So if you're just somebody who has an idea, and can't necessarily raise from VCs, you're in this weird position where

Okay, well, what do I do now?

Like I can vibe code something, but how do I actually take it to the next level?

Almost impossible.

So that's why what we're doing right now is really focusing on that final piece.

We think of it almost as being like this last mile delivery for in the easy a factory of building a founder and a successful startup.
