They think less like that, right? As you of course know, like stock options in Europe, people still view it as like a random lottery ticket, not really as part of their compensation because no one in Europe knows anyone who got rich off working in a startup because we don't have that many successes here. Are you seeing that attitude change? I am seeing the attitude change a little bit.

It's going to take a long time to change because the way, no matter what I tell people who work at Synthesia, no matter how much they can kind of read the news and see all this stuff, what people care about is like, do they know someone? Do they have a cousin who made $2 million of being early in a startup?

In the US, especially in the Valley, everybody knows someone who made $2 million of working in a startup, and they know several of them. That makes you feel like you can do it as well, right? Here, it's very kind of abstract, like, oh, yeah, people, these companies made.

But before we really see that, and that just requires, like, a bigger ecosystem with more exits, more big companies, and so on, I think it'll get there, but it'll take a long time. But what I think you get in Europe is you get more loyalty in the sense that people care a lot about, like, working a place that they like working, working on interesting problems, having great colleagues.

And I think that's a pro that's, like, less spoken about. Do you think people work as hard? Honestly, I don't really have a strong sense that people work way harder in the Valley. I know a couple of great friends who've moved over there and opened offices. I have not heard from any of them that, wow, people just work so insanely hard.

There's probably a percentage of people there that work really, really hard, but I think we have those people here as well. I think that's more like a personality trait that's dispersed all across the world. But I don't think if you take an average software engineer in the Valley that they work harder than we do in Europe.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's kind of interesting to see what the new government is going to do, right? I think they have a lot of great cards on their hand. Like we have a lot of great companies that are actually building here. And I think what's important or what we're seeing in the London ecosystem is that
