But five of them ended up going through phase three, successful, sold those rights to other pharma companies, generated billions of dollars in value for shareholders. And the company I founded, Roivant, is like a $8, $9, $10 billion publicly traded company on the NASDAQ today that's returned billions of dollars to shareholders. And I'm proud of that.

And it was a very cool company that bucked the trend of pharma. And a lot of people in big pharma didn't like it because it in some ways made traditional big pharma look bad because it called the bluff on a lot of these areas they were ignoring.

Well, I think initially a lot of pharmas did not like Roivant's existence. That's definitely true. But when I entered the realm of politics, which is the realm of smear campaigns, there was definitely a concerted effort to exploit one of the drugs that failed. That's the Alzheimer's drug.
