The message alive and well and in the mi of the country but more people need to Pay Attention locall support them, mentor them, be customers to them, invest in them and more of the Venture Capitalists sitting on the c need to invest them as well because it is a great opportunity as an investment. The valuations in these cities are lower because there is ls capital there, but it is alsa great way to revitalize these cities and give them a sense that the future is going to good for their communities, j are going to be created ther artificial intelligence, or robotics or other kinds of things. We cant just focus on tinnovate to focus on innovation allacrosp these cities rise. Soledad you have been personally investhose businesse. What do you look for that are not in silicon i mean, i know some in Silicon Valley, lot nown valley. What do you lo . Steve there is a big theme emerging, it is called the t wave, the third wave of the internet revolutionize things like food and transportation. A lot of important aspects of our lives so it is going to require a different mind set entrepreneurs, partnerships e going to be more important. Public policy regulations are going to be more important. If you really want to revolutionize agriculture, you are probably going to do tha you understand how farmers in missouri or nebraska or kent think about those things. Similarly, if you want to revolutionize healthcare, w with the Cleveland Clinic or Johns Hopkins are going to important. So i think tha of it is in the middle of the country which i think will hp fuel this rise of the rest. The expertise necessary for this third wave, the partnershipsthae this third wave, many of tho are in the middle of the country. So if we can und happening and get more ventu capitalists paying attentiono those startups there, i thin is a great opportunities. So we look for these third wave businesses that really trying improve important aspects of lives and in the process dis what is happening right now 6 for me, the driver three dec ago was how do you use the internet to level the Playing Field in terms of ac now it is how you level that Playing Field in terms of opportunities, including accs to capital.
