So the SMB investing space has really exploded the last several years, and CapitalPad in particular has really benefited from this, as CapitalPad has become the hub for SMB investing in general. I think this has been brought on from a few different reasons. One, just, more awareness and interest in the acquisition entrepreneurship space in general.

A lot of this brought on by the now famous Stanford search fund studies, as well as maybe the Buy Then Build book and all the other interests in the space. I also think that a lot of investors got a bit burned by the speculative startup mania for the, the last several years. And SMB investing is really the complete opposite of that.

So with startups, you're investing in, you know, future hope of hoping that something will come of this that they can build a good company where with SMB investing, it's kind of investing in what already exists. You know, it's profit focused instead of growth speculative focused. It's more investing in enduring companies that are kind of hard to disrupt that have been around for maybe 30 years, versus technology focused things that can be disrupted quite easily.

So all those things together I think have aligned to really making SMB investing really interesting to a lot of individual investors. I think CapitalPad in general has benefited from a lot of this because CapitalPad serves both sides of the market. So on one hand, CapitalPad will invest, between about 1 million to about $2.5 million in each SMB deal.

But on the other hand, CapitalPad allows individual accredited investors to gain access to the asset class. So individual accredited investors can join CapitalPad in order to invest in these SMB deals that are really hard to find if you're not really plugged into the space quite deeply to get enough quality deal flow.
