Roland Austrup: Is that the amount of innovation going on in the US and globally is absolutely astounding and we're in the early stages, I think, of a significant change like Industry 4.0. Again, if you wanna call it that, and with what's going on with AI is going to lead to more discovery of ideas, more transformative technologies.
And capital market. Public markets need to be there to support these companies going forward. So I think we're in a good place and see in terms of where we are in the commercialization of innovation, I think the SPAC industry's going to be ideally situated to increase the number of public companies versus an IPO process.
Michael Blankenship:
totally believe in innovation and, the entrepreneurial spirit here. That people, if you have the grit and you want to get out and you are innovative and I, you're right. We have a.
Country world full of people who want to innovate and make a better place. And seeing people or companies like Venture help fund is important and you're, and obviously I agree on the SPAC space, I think there's a lot more out there. I think the funds will probably start giving up and letting people go public.
I think the multiples will be better on those as well, because the m and a trade is not doing as well as, they thought so. And then continuing it may not be the best solution. Continuing out in that SPAC space is important.
