So they're going to turn to the people who can give them that.

And that is venture capital.

And that is tech companies in America.

There's sort of this race happening all over the world of countries trying to make sure that they're able to compete or at least exist on the technological plane of what's being developed.

And for a time that cooled relations between Saudi Arabia and venture capital, at least on the surface, but they don't care about that stuff, you know?

Yeah.

You know, when you talk about like what is a venture capitalist and one of the things that they really do is they are like constructing entire markets.
