Because the one thing that CEOs ask, which is, what do you provide me that's more than just capital?

And the point is, we provide expertise, we provide access, we provide talent so that they can really achieve their dreams, just like Anton at Lovable.

I love inside, onside.

That's actually 25 years that you've been bringing this to bear.

And what is it that you learn at the moment that leaders are needing of you?

Where is the guidance making most impact?

Yeah.

So we have an accelerator program because, as you mentioned, everything is changing with AI and we need our portfolio companies to keep up with the pace of change.

There is a difference between those companies that are AI native and those companies that are cloud native, Anton being, you know,

AI native, and how do we help our companies who are cloud native pivot and make that shift towards adopting AI?

And really we think about it as our AI accelerator, and it starts with the CEO.

So the CEO is the person that really needs to understand and adopt and drive the change and the transformation

So we bring CEOs into our AI accelerator program.

It's a six-month program, small cohorts of CEOs, and we help them think about two areas that they need to drive change in.

The first is around AI in the product.

So how are they building AI into their products that delight and deliver more value for customers?

And then how are they adopting AI in their business so that they grow and scale more efficiently?

When you're looking at, I think you've got more than 130 dedicated professionals getting on site, getting really bedded in with these businesses and helping them accelerate.

When they're thinking of just the top-down approach, it becomes a talent question.

How are you finding that being an area of bringing everyone on board, everyone wanting to adopt, everyone wanting to ensure that these pilots are being proven out to work?
