Clearbank was built by founders for founders and we want to transform the way that we're giving capital to founders around the world. The best way that we thought about doing that was actually hiring people That could be empathetic to what founders were going through right? I think it just goes back to the transparency people understand why things are being done Mm-hmm And if they're part of the process and it is an experiment and things you know sometimes work and they don't yeah Yeah, I think that that's a very interesting way to do that.
