Yeah.
I think it's a recurring SASE.
Yeah, we have another company called Passage AI, which is in the conversational AI space, which what they do is basically you're able to, it's a chat bot, right?
But instead of communicating with a Coles or a Macy's,
over the regular mediums we do today, you can talk to Alexa and say, Alexa, talk to Coles about whatever, buying these pair of pants, right?
So that's an interesting approach, but what we're also looking for is interesting ways to use voice in
everyday life, um, and how enterprises can access and use and take, go after what Alexa and Google home have done, but be more closer to their customer through these, through the voice medium.
Actually, yeah, there are a lot of, um, the biggest reason why I got into something like this, like
investing in venture and solving big problems, was I wanted to solve core fundamental needs in the world, which is food, water, shelter, all those kind of like the original Maslow hierarchy problems, right?
Not the Wi-Fi and so forth.
But we ended up investing in that Wi-Fi and connectivity and all those categories, which is great, and I love that.
But what we largely think about as well is
How do you go solve the problems in agriculture, in ocean, in food, in transportation?
very large industries that affect our lives and create a pain point that if we solve that, that there's a large opportunity to increase the world GDP by a huge percent.
So we constantly think about those large markets.
We haven't made a bet in agriculture, ocean tech, or any of those industries yet.
We have invested in transportation.
A couple of our companies are a company called Zendar and X-Wing that used up perception to solve the autonomous industry.
car and the autonomous airplane industry problems.
But generally, we're open to anyone who's thinking large in any industry.
