All right, everybody, welcome back. It's This Week in Startups from Tokyo. Yes, we're at Founder University. I'm back in Tokyo. I go twice a year.

I go in the summer. It's 96 degrees and 100% humidity. It's the exact opposite of what happens in January when I come here to do Founder University and ski for a week. But I love coming to Japan if you're a founder or an investor and you're in the This Week in startups or the launch or syndicate family. You can join us for Angel University.

You can apply for that. We do that twice a year here in Tokyo. If you're a founder, you can apply for founder.university website. You'll see Japan. You'll see Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, and then you'll see the US edition.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
