[00:16:24] S0: Must have been amazing. Yeah. [00:16:26] S1: Yeah. Is... It's surprising, you know, and for a second, we were like, is that a trick actually to to to to get us bought in more? But no. It's it's... Yeah. It's a it's it's it's a compliment to degree, but most importantly, it makes a lot of sense. Right? So not just the brand, the name makes sense, debatable, too much Americanism. We've heard a lot of criticism about that. But the concept makes so much sense. Think about our framework and even Delaware. This is from before the Internet. So all of our corporate law was designed before the Internet. How is that supposed to regulate the innovation economy that we expect the whole world to change from? Right? So it's a low hanging fruit. Consensus for Europe right now, momentum for Europe is very high. So like with many startups, it's the timing.

[00:17:14] S0: Yeah. Yeah. And now definitely does fill out the right time. I think your point is interesting that that Delaware is the competitor and most... So many startups feel that they have to incorporate that. Even startups that we celebrate as being great European companies and it's not even that, it's, you know, and to your point about the exit market, right? It's like a lot of them are incorporating there because they have a long term vision of IPO ing, And that's like this barbell problem that we have is that we actually have a lot of great stuff going on in the middle, but it's the incorporation and the exits are really where we need to focus. But look, Simon, thank you so much for taking the time. One last question. What should people do with this? You started this campaign, a hundred days to get this over the line. Anybody watching, listening, reading, what should they be doing? What can they do to help this? [00:17:56] S1: Talk to everyone that you know in government, politics, even economy. Get them convinced that this is the infrastructure for the future, for the innovation economy of Europe. [00:18:06] S0: Amazing. Well, look, let's do it. A hundred days. Let's get this over the line. Thank you so much for joining me, and thank you for all the work that you do. Right? This is an amazing thing. And and I think if this if we get it right, it could be transformational. [00:18:17] S1: Yeah. Thanks for having me. This is great.
