Our aerospace division started gaining traction. 613 00:35:45,604 --> 00:35:47,981 I was spending a lot more time in Texas, so I handed it off. 614 00:35:50,108 --> 00:35:51,109 Any regrets? 615 00:35:53,070 --> 00:35:54,905 Not sure what you mean. 616 00:35:54,905 --> 00:35:58,492 Well, a former Stanford student who was in that incubator 617 00:35:58,492 --> 00:36:00,160 claims to have written a code. 618 00:36:00,869 --> 00:36:03,997 A code that evolved into the data analytics system 619 00:36:03,997 --> 00:36:06,333 that you sell to governments around the world. 620 00:36:07,376 --> 00:36:09,419 Right.

But the initial idea was theirs. 623 00:36:17,052 --> 00:36:20,472 Well, the initial idea was, if I recall correctly, 624 00:36:20,472 --> 00:36:23,600 a GPS blocker for activists and dissidents, 625 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,729 which we took to several VCs, all of whom passed. 626 00:36:28,313 --> 00:36:30,148 So then you bought it instead. 627 00:36:31,358 --> 00:36:35,070 A billion-dollar idea at a bargain price of 50 grand. 628 00:36:35,070 --> 00:36:38,407 - Is that what you paid?
