Otherwise, it’s not considered a success. If the investors don’t make money, the founder’s not going to make any money at all.

Sramana Mitra: Yes. In all our discussions last year on AI, human centric AI was front and center. AI is in enterprises, AI is in small businesses, but it’s either a human using AI as whether it’s a co-pilot or an assistant, whatever; but it’s the human making the decisions.
