Where does ASX fit in that ecosystem that has changed over the last 25 years?
4:33
I mean, there's probably three or four major changes.
4:35
But one big one was I think in 2012, 2013, we saw money come into and the establishment of a few venture capital funds.
4:44
Because if you look at the U.S., which is probably 50 years ahead of us in terms of the venture capital industry, You need a thriving venture capital industry to then be able to fund early stage companies who then go on to become larger companies who can then perhaps list at some point.
4:58
So that's what Australia didn't have back in the day.
5:01
And the ASX still used to play a role at the time where you could list these tech companies quite early, and we have examples of that being, you know, Xero is a classic example.
5:10
They listed when they were, I think, $10 or $15 million.
