Yeah, definitely

...

I really, I fell in love with growing a company more than I did with contracting itself.

No one will ever understand all of contracting 'cause it keeps changing, but once you understand the basics, it becomes a really nice market to be in for a lender because there's so many companies starting and growing and taking advantage of these set-aside opportunities, and so many of them need the cash flow help that we provide.

And this is what I'm hoping we can get into as well.

There's so many options in the market that it creates so much confusion for people, 'cause it's this problem that they know they need to solve, right? They know they need cash to grow, and they know that contract win is gonna consume cash.

So either they have to have it themselves, which many are not fortunate enough to have that, or they have to borrow it, and that's when it gets very confusing.

We're at where we're at, but we wanna get to where we wanna go"?

What does that evolution look like for Parabolas right now? And where do you see us growing over the next five years?

Let's say our immediate positioning right now is contract financing.

A contractor wins work, government pays slowly, we bridge the gap.

It's boring, it's easy, that business isn't going anywhere because the math of the market isn't changing.

Payroll comes every two weeks and the government pays when the government pays.

But the evolution is moving from being a transient, temporary solution to becoming a long-term partner across a contractor's whole life cycle and growth curve.

I've had visibility into hundreds and hundreds of GovCon financials over the years, and the pattern is consistent.

What are the doors you're most focused on keeping open for our clients right now?
