Hi everyone, my name is Utkarsh and I'm here to tell you about the Network Capital School that kickstarts on July 10th. Over the summer we launched an interesting experiment to see what happens when we create a new model of learning where the whole purpose is for students to fall in love with learning new things and appreciating the world with a whole new lens, visualizing it with clear mental models, first principles, thinking and in the long term, building their category of one. Over the course of the summer we had 40 students from around the world who came to us to build their category of one. They graduated by delivering TED style talks hosted on our platform, writing a thoughtful article about something that piqued their curiosity, and conducting a whole range of micro experiments to figure out the problems that need most urgent attention and how they can match their unique skills with the opportunities present in the big wide world that we live in. Based on the success of the summer school, we've now decided to launch a full fledged school which will complement the regular learning in a classroom environment and classes will be held once a week for a period of two hours followed by a short assignment which the students will enjoy doing. The focus of the summer school will again be making the students world class writers, public speakers and critical thinkers so that in the long term they are able to build a career in something that they are truly passionate about. The students who graduate from our program will be eligible for getting mentorship by some of the smartest people on the planet. Young professionals who've gone through a wide range of experiences and created something truly unique and valuable in the 21st century. One of the most important skills that we all need to develop is the ability to reinvent ourselves multiple times. And reinvention is not possible alone. We need to leverage the support of the community, the mentors we trust and see what happens. Scholarships are available for our summer school program as well as for the full fledged school. We are trying to keep it as need blind as possible, so don't let financial considerations stop you from joining our program. Write to varyaetworkcapital tv. She's our head of Product and Government affairs. She will give you a scholarship form and if you're interested you can apply for it. You will see the benefits of the school in 90 days from the start, just in the course of four, four and a half weeks, our summer school students students achieve very tangible progress on the way they wrote, the way they communicated and the way they thought. We see the Network Capital program complement the conventional learning and essentially help our students create their category of one. Everything that we do in Network Capital is focused on that one principle category of one. And we are very excited by the start of initiative, which started first with young professionals, but now we realize that we have to take the same offering to school students as well. So if you're in the age group of 8 to 18, or if you know somebody who's interested and curious and ambitious and wants to build his or her category of one, send them our way. Take care and have a wonderful day.
