My name is Fred Marshall. I'm the CEO and founder of Quantum Learning. And I met George. We got to talking and he told me what he was doing and it was interesting. And the thing that kind of struck me when I first met him was George is really passionate about what he's doing. He's really thoughtful and thorough and systematic about what he does. And he's pretty disciplined in his approach. And you can really see that through everything he does. The process that George uses is really powerful. We're making bets. We know that most of them are not going to pay off. We know that some of them are going to pay off. Okay? And we know that a couple are going to pay off big. If you have that right portfolio mindset and you're thoughtful about it, then you're going to have a really good experience. And I think the annual general meeting is such a valuable opportunity to meet the people who are investing. We get to meet some pretty incredible people, people who are changing the future of AI, changing the future of the world. And at a very early stage, in that pre seed stage, it's pretty remarkable that you get an opportunity to talk to people who are at that level this early in the process.
