What we're seeing and something that I've written about is this new deployment age of software.

I mean, we'll talk about that a bit later, but, you know, that essentially now these kinds of companies are getting into every little nook and cranny of the economy.

And there's so many, you know, opportunities that maybe are not $10 billion opportunities, but they're very viable ways to build a profitable, sustainable business for folks.

Yeah, we launched earnest.

Well, we literally like first pen to paper, uh, or, or, you know, words on a pitch deck in August of 2018, six months later.

So February of last year, we launched a earnest fund one, um, you know, candidly, it was really like a proof of concept fund.

So it was about $3.1 million that we invested over 18 months.

So it was essentially.

one company a month for 18 months.

And we are just hitting the end of that.

So we'll write our probably last two checks out of that.

We've done 16 companies to date.

We'll write our last two checks over the next probably six weeks or so.

And then we'll move on to our second fund, which is basically InMotion.

I studied economics in college, and I got into renewable energy.

I mean, I was interested in it just academically.

The energy markets, I think, are really fascinating, and I got sucked into a rabbit hole, as I sort of want to do at some point in college.

And the opportunity or the moment when one needs to stop focusing on study abroad and start focusing on internships kind of arrived.

Yeah.

Yeah.
