Neil Keegan: Sure. Sure. Great questions. So how do we find opportunities? A lot of it is just based on our network and just our, our various careers. And I've got two other partners. One was working with Kevin Plank, the founder of Under Armour and his family office on, primarily on the real estate side, but has raised a lot of capital in the family office network. My other partner was a, another Naval academy graduate about 10 years ahead of me. Was a successful entrepreneur, you know, started three companies from scratch, sold them all, did well. So he's got a pretty unique network and a lot of his contemporaries are at, at are or were at senior levels of in the DOD or parts of the intelligence community. So his network is, is pretty vast. Within my network with my time in the Navy, Goldman Sachs, running a family office. And now the more we do in this, in this space the more we're the more deals we're coming across, and we're also open to partnering with other venture groups in other like-minded investors. So we collaborate on deal flow. We collaborate on deals. We, we share limited partners on, on particular deals. So our concentric circles literally grow every day. And so deal flow really hasn't been an issue. It's just time. It's just been really the issue. Time and team. So one thing we're doing is we're, you know, we're narrowing our aperture on what types of deals we like, and then we're, we're augmenting our team and we're looking to bring on some really good due diligence and process folks.
