So, again, again, those already picked? Yeah.
13:04
Yeah, so those have been picked as well.
13:06
So yeah, launch party is on Monday afternoon at Venture Tech.
13:11
And then we spread it out a little more on the main stage pitches on Tuesday because they're more mature companies and we give them a little more time to tell their story on stage.
13:21
Glenn, as you know, as the champion of questions for those kinds of companies.
13:27
Yeah.
13:30
So we give the baby fintechs, the launch party fintechs, not as much time because their story isn't as baked.

And Nick, they can, they can
20:33
And then it's entirely audience vote, correct, in both cases?
20:36
We call it the launch party, and the reason they get a shorter amount of time on stage is that we believe we're helping launch them out into the industry, the credit union industry, and They're early stage.
20:47
They are really early.
20:48
In some cases, you know, they're looking for their first pilot or POCs or, you know, their first few customers.
20:55
And so we originally called it Launch Party because we, you know, we were trying to pick companies that were just coming out of accelerators or incubators.
21:04
And so that's how early they are.
21:06
And then the main stage, they get a little longer time because they're more mature, both company-wise and probably founder-wise, in that they can probably stand up there a little while longer and talk about their companies.
