Dave, I appreciate your concern. We intend for the initial investment from Lightning Lab to be help for all teams, but anticipate that team will need to supplement that with their own funding from friends, family, and other sources. We may be able to help connect more mature teams with other funding sources as well. We would love to have a conversation with you and any team about ways to make it work financially to be a part of the programme.
