Hello. It's Sam here, head of programs at Launch Academy. I'm here to answer your questions. So today's question comes regarding the Maple program. Does Launch Academy help you, the company, get funding or VC partners for your ventures through the Maple program? So the answer is a little bit more complicated than just a simple yes or no. We do provide connections through the Maple program that may lead to funding. But if you're looking for funding, we would highly recommend that you look at a different designated organization to first get your letter of support from them. Because there are many different great programs out there that include funding, and the Maple program is not one that includes immediate funding.
