O'Shaughnessy Ventures formed to take advantage of this phenomenon. We believe that we are going into a completely different way of doing business in many industries. And not by the way, just fueled by AI, but fueled by our ability to work collaboratively. There's been teams of solo people building stuff and then there's larger teams building all sorts of stuff. I'd love to do more of these. I think they're sort of just really inspirational to see those people building stuff out of nothing really. They just sort of think this is a decent enough motivation. A lot of people are afraid of that because it's very different than what we're used to.
