Another question. Have you heard of companies like Innocentive and HeroX? They seem to be at the other end of this, where companies put out a call for solutions and have a cash prize for them, as well as the opportunity for future partnerships.

These are great. We knew about Halo.science but had not heard of these other two. I think it's a great model and these appear to be having good success. We really want to be involved in the transaction of scientific R&D projects, playing a larger role facilitating them, so will have to study these groups more.
