[01:11:09] S1: Good. One is that. What was the second one? [01:11:12] S0: It kind of follows your your lead, which is therapeutics using AI to, as they say, drug the undruggable, like, to figure out cures is by far the greatest, I think, potential and impact that we'll see out of this technology. And I believe... I mean, you're just seeing the pace of things. We're gonna automate... You know, their... The wet labs are gonna become automatable, and you put an AI brain that can see and reason over mass sums of datasets and in ways that a single human simply can't. And and I think we're gonna have a pace of discovery in biology and therapeutics and drug development over the next decade that we have... That would... I really do believe what Dario says on that in in machines of love and grace. I think we're gonna see in the next decade what would have taken us half a century. I really believe that. [01:12:00] S1: I think you've been so patient with me today. I mean, you have been... I I mean, you're like, I came for a nice chat, dude.

[01:12:23] S1: software development platform that's built for enterprise scale, is proud to sponsor today's show. Enterprise code bases have grown beyond human comprehension. Tens of millions of lines, decades of tech debt, complexity existing tools cannot fathom. Blitzy starts by understanding. Thousands of agents reverse engineer your code base into a proprietary knowledge graph that maps architecture, dependencies, and business logic. That graph surfaces every CVE and zero day hiding in your code before anyone hands you a ticket. Grounded in that context, Blitzy then executes entire epics autonomously, modernize off legacy systems, ship new features five x faster, or batch remediate CVEs at scale surfaced by the platform. Blitzy not only generates code, it validates an end to end test every single line, and that's why Fortune 500 enterprises are shipping enterprise grade code five times faster. Go to blitzy.com/20vc to learn more. While Blitzy helps you build faster, Flex helps you run your finances smarter. Business owners run their whole financial life on Flex.

The deal stalls when you scramble. Your engineer gets pulled off the road map to audit prep. Every enterprise conversation turns into this horrible fire drill. That's where Vanta comes in.
