They're never gonna post on LinkedIn about their funding because they don't want anyone to know about them. They want to be a secret, and that is the advantage. And so I'm gonna hopefully have many of these companies, and I'm never going to tell anyone on any podcast what these companies do or what they're called because I don't want anyone to look it up. I'll never have it on my portfolio page. In fact, I'm gonna update my website at some point where it's literally just like it says nothing on it because, you know, it we're getting to a point where the the best people in this field will you will not they'll not tell you anything, which is very interesting.
