“Google writ large.”

I think Google's underrated. I think it's going to be the first $10 million company in our lifetime. I think they have all the assets that are needed to make this successful. I think people underestimate. You can be a model company, you still need to have a sales force that convinces customers to go out there and embrace these models and buy them. And if you think about it, three hyperscalers have the biggest number of salespeople out there.
