So this issue of unstructured data, would love for you to illuminate for the audience how Clara is solving this issue, this crisis of unstructured data in institutional finance.
2:02
Yeah.
2:03
So we specifically focus on private markets.
2:07
Um, so private markets is really, uh, investment opportunities that are part of the institutional space, not disseminated necessarily broadly to every investor.
2:18
Usually an investment bank or, um, someone like that will be running the process of raising money for, this could be for a private company or venture capital or private equity, which are oftentimes the bigger asset class in this space.

2:58
They'll go through deals faster.
3:01
But that in of itself doesn't make you a better investor.
3:04
And I think a lot of our investors are interested in that.
3:07
