The thing that I think is unique right now and and I'm old enough, I've seen a lot of tech waves, I've got tennis rackets older than Raj here. There there are certain technology innovations that spawn a cascade of all alternative or or follow on innovations. And right now we're at a unique point in time when we've got AI, we've got quantum, we've got genetic engineering we we we've got we've got this host of opportunities to solve really hard problems and ultimately. You don't invest in a company. Because of the 30%, you get the 30% increases because they're solving a really important problem. They're delivering value to customers. And so with Cerberus Ventures, what we're doing is we're we're redefining national security. I believe energy assurance is national security, not just for the United States but for all countries. I think food security is national security. I think productivity and safety are national security, reducing healthcare costs. And if you look at the technology innovation that's gone on just over the last five years, the, the fundamental, the, the, the. The foundational technologies that will enable us to solve for these problems. We're making progress. IAI IAI's becoming real. We're seeing fission and fusion coming along. We're seeing the genome being sequenced for reasonable amounts of money now in genetic engineering, gene therapy, cell therapies becoming real. So I think. Look, ventures, it's the best of times and worst of times. It's hard to get a fundraise, but if you're sitting on dry powder. There's never been a better time.
