WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.877
By any normal or even reasonable

00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:07.837
standard, these are not normal uh
results. These are not even strong

00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:11.837
results. These aren't extraordinary
results. These are arguably the best

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:15.997
results that any software company has
ever delivered. And it's that's not

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:20.477
hyperbolic. Despite what your analyst
friends may want you to believe because

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:23.837
they've been wrong at every price,
they're wrong on every at every single

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:25.677
round. But of course, they're persuasive

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.357
and it's they're not investing their own

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.597
money. But um I a a normal enterprise

00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:33.837
company should not have a rule of 40

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.917
above 100. A normal enterprise company

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.037
at our base should not have over 100% US

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:41.997
commercial growth. Should not have 77%

00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:44.797
growth in the US. That growth is being

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.357
held down by a stagnant Europe which is

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:49.357
still a significant part of our

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:53.117
business. So the pure uh unvarnished

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.197
numbers are 77% growth off of a massive

00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.117
significant base with very significant

00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.677
cash flow with a company that throws off

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:05.917
a rule of 40 of 114. And then I if this

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.637
world was at all sane every single mo
every single person in the financial

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:12.797
world would stop and say how did this

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:16.077
happen? How did a company which stand

00:01:16.160 --> 00:01:19.357
stood by the American war fighter uh

00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:22.637
marine special operators uh people in

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:24.797
clandestine services who stood up for

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:27.597
our right of free speech and was really

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:29.917
the first company to be completely

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.037
anti-woke? How did this company stick up

00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.757
for the American war fighter uh actually

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.357
give normal Americans venture quality

00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:41.997
results? So one of the issues we have

00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:45.437
with the arbiters of truth is it was the

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:47.837
American worker that we supported and

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.477
the American worker that we helped make
rich and the arbiters of truth somehow

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.237
did not participate in that because they

00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:56.317
were such experts and of course you know

00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.557
but what these numbers show is uh doing

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.557
that and taking the American worker

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.157
along with it it and uh doing it in a

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:09.837
way that foreshadowed
the future FDA ontology

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:14.237
foundry, making each specific
institution, making the American war

00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:16.557
fighter fight the way the American war

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:19.277
fighter is born to fight, empowering the

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.197
tenants of being, you know, free and

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.517
having the ability to do creative things

00:02:25.600 --> 00:02:28.477
uh in the battlefield context. Um and

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.757
then uh taking uh enterprises instead of

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.317
selling them commodity parasitic

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.437
software with a massive salesforce with

00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.517
a kind of lumbering

00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:42.877
uh jargonbearing leaders offering you

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:47.037
stakes and dinners and other things we
will shall not mention. In order that

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.677
you turn the value the high value

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:51.837
revenue of your enterprise over to them

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:54.877
in return for for these accolades. We

00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.357
created direct alignment with our
customers. And what does that mean? It

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:02.797
means when our customers have a unique
and tribal way of doing something,

00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:05.437
whether it's underwriting or fighting or

00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.557
making workers even more valuable, we

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:12.717
put an FDA, we orchestrate it
in ontology. We take the tribal

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.397
understanding of their business,
the specific nature of their business that

00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:19.357
makes them particular and valuable and

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:22.637
lethal, and we empower that. And how do

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:27.597
we participate in that? Unlike
seemingly in the most obvious way we are

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.517
downstream from the value creation. So

00:03:29.600 --> 00:03:33.437
when you see 141 or you see 77% or 63

00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.997
and you ask and by the way with really a

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.517
a workforce that is uh not growing in

00:03:39.600 --> 00:03:43.117
any way linearly proportional to that
growth and also with a sales force which

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:45.997
is declining which seems improbable. The

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.357
reason why that's working uh is because
we are making our clients more money or

00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:54.717
we're making them more dominant
on the battlefield and they're paying us a

00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.357
subset of that. And this is why these
numbers are so extraordinary. The psych

00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:03.757
the sociological and political version
of this should be wait a minute how can

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.877
we learn from this? How can we implement
institutions? By the way to you know we

00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.477
have all these people talking about
an AI battle. I'll tell you what 114

00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.357
proves. There is a massive part of the

00:04:15.440 --> 00:04:17.677
AI market that actually cares about

00:04:17.760 --> 00:04:19.757
value creation and that's the part we

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:22.557
own and we own that part because to do

00:04:22.640 --> 00:04:27.357
this you have to have FD orchestration
you have to have ontology and you have

00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:31.037
to have foundry and you have to have
access to the game and you have to have

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.077
deep understanding of how to do that
and you have to have done this for a very

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.357
very long time with products by the way
and then the products are getting better

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:40.317
and better and better and better
and I'll let Sham talk about what we're

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:44.637
doing on the battlefield to the extent
that he can but you see the very similar

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.957
trajectory where we're giving America

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.757
both in industry and in government
a massive unfair advantage and and again

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:54.957
you see it like if you look at our
numbers look at how poorly Europe is

00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.477
doing look how well America is doing
look how we're doing this and again it's

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.197
not just topline the rule of 114 that we

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:03.597
have shows topline and bottom line

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.317
growth that is distinctive massive and

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:09.437
unique and on top of everything else

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:12.237
there is this issue in the US that we're

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:17.037
all focused just on a pound here which
is what access what portion of the GDP

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:18.397
growth that we're blessed to have in

00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.157
this country meaning uh GDP growth uh

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.957
defined or helped out and bolstered by a

00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.157
by AI what percentage of that is

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.437
available to the American worker and so
when we're we're you know AI uh GDP

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:37.197
availability for the American worker
meaning do they participate in this uh

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:40.637
growth or is it just people around this
table who are getting richer and richer

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.637
and then you see our platform form on

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.557
the battlefield as Sean was mentioning

00:05:44.640 --> 00:05:47.837
the people doing the coding in AIP are

00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.877
vocationally trained smart Americans

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:55.437
with specific knowledge they don't
have and actually and you people on the

00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:57.677
factory floor very same thing people

00:05:57.760 --> 00:06:00.797
across the nation truck drivers uh

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:03.597
anybody with specific domain expertise

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.917
is more powerful more valuable in our

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.997
product than they were yesterday in fact

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:11.037
the real misalignment of AI is with

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.757
people with commodity like high trained

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:16.797
elite institution general specialist

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:21.117
that's just not as valuable as it
was and yes the you know the destructive

00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:25.517
positive destruction of capitalism
is going to put that class of people

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.917
typically the class of people that also
kind of skeptical of under enormous

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.677
pressure it is our what I see in these
numbers and what I think we see in these

00:06:33.760 --> 00:06:38.237
numbers is you know to be put it
slightly over the top yeah we were right

00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:42.637
you were wrong and we are going to go
very very deep in our rightness because

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.397
it is exceed ex exceedingly good
for America. It's exceedingly good for the

00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.397
American economy. It's as good for

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.957
American workers. And you know what? I

00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.597
really enjoy turning on TV and seeing
some analysts explain why some other

00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.797
company is better than ours simply
because they didn't make any money on

00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:03.357
our company and probably aren't. And we're
just going to keep going and going

00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:07.037
and going. And then we're obviously not
going to forecast for next year, but I

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.357
would say if you're thinking about how
this company is going to go, look at our

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:14.717
ability to value create. Look at our
ability to create revenue on the top

00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.477
end. Look at it. Let look at the unit
economics of our business. If you're a

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:23.437
technical expert in in how you evaluate
business, evaluate those numbers against

00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:27.197
any other business you've ever seen
and then make your decision. But yeah, I'm

00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:28.877
wildly enthusiastic. I think we're

00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:32.717
wildly enthusiastic and um and thank you

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.717
for uh those of you who stay stayed
with us to enjoy these numbers, especially

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.277
Palunteerians uh who work day and night

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.077
to deliver these kind of numbers.

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.197
>> Thank you, Alex. We'll now turn
to questions from our shareholders before

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:48.797
opening up the call. We received a few
questions asking, "What do you see as

00:07:48.880 --> 00:07:52.717
Palanteer's unique differentiator
that others may not understand?"

00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.117
>> Well, Alex mentioned
a bit of this here.

00:07:55.200 --> 00:07:57.917
You know, it's become fashionable
actually for lots of companies to start

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.437
hiring FDEEs. The Financial Times had
an article about how it's the most popular

00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:05.357
new job title. But what you see is that
they don't really understand it. It's

00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:09.117
just mimemetic. And if you everything
Alex you said like we build software

00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:12.397
that works, not software that ought to
work. We build software for the world as

00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.877
it exists, not a world that never was.

00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:19.837
And this ability to find what's true
that comes from the FDE. Our measure of

00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.597
success is not did we sell the software,
it's did we solve the problem. And we

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:28.877
have built an entire software stack over
two decades downstream of creating value

00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:32.397
for our customers. That led to the
ontology a decade ago, more than a

00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.837
decade ago, which is a fundamental
prerequisite to getting value out of

00:08:35.920 --> 00:08:37.597
LLMs in the enterprise. In this past

00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:40.477
year, it led to AI hive mind and AIFD.

00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:42.877
The the other thing uh which like is

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.237
implicit in that is the way we work puts

00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.157
us up forces us to go up
the chain of complexity

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.637
every day. So we're taking on the most

00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.597
painful, most integral, most valuable

00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:57.917
parts of the stack in every enterprise.

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:02.237
And it's it's precisely because like
that's the way we actually lever our

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.877
ability to deploy and orchestrate FTEEs.

00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.717
That's the way we make our product
stronger. And quite frankly, that's the

00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:11.197
way we produce these numbers because the

00:09:11.280 --> 00:09:15.757
closer you are to the front line of the
very complex problem that a black box

00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.157
was not meant to solve, cannot solve.

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.477
And at this point, everyone knows a joke
to believe it could solve, uh that's

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:24.797
where you and and by the way, it's the

00:09:24.880 --> 00:09:26.957
safest position for us because this

00:09:27.040 --> 00:09:31.997
company, we will always believe we're we
that we are outsiders. We need to be in

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.877
the place where the most valuable
problem is being solved because that's

00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:39.677
the way we end up staying solving the
problem tomorrow and the way we get paid.

00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:42.717
>> Thank you both. Our next
question is from Dan with Wedbush.

00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:45.357
>> Great. Look, obviously another monster

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.677
quarter for you guys. Congrats. My

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:50.397
question for you is, you know, for Alex

00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.637
and team. What can you just walk through

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.117
just the accelerated sales cycles that

00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.597
you're seeing from so many companies

00:09:59.680 --> 00:10:02.077
that have gone to the boot camps? Like

00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:05.757
what surprised you from when they come

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.717
to you at that first sort of you know

00:10:08.800 --> 00:10:11.917
contact to now actually launching deals?

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.637
Maybe you could talk about that just
in terms of everything you're seeing

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.237
anecdotally. >> Great.
Thanks Dan. So I think you know

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.797
we look at US commercial. We closed 1.3

00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:25.357
billion in TCV. That's 6x on a dollar
weighted duration basis from what it was

00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.597
a year ago. And of those deals, 83 were

00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:32.477
worth a million or more. 40 were 5
million or more. 21 deals were $10

00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:35.837
million or more. I've been involved
in a lot of those directly. I'm feeling

00:10:35.920 --> 00:10:39.437
exactly what you're asking on the ground
from customers. And what's what's

00:10:39.520 --> 00:10:43.197
happening now is from the seuite across
the company, customers are coming to us

00:10:43.280 --> 00:10:46.397
looking to not just say let's do a use
case. the customers where we're having

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.917
the most impact are coming to us saying
how do we deploy this across our entire

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.237
organization? How do we reorganize our
entire organization around Palunteer and

00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.157
AIP and that's what's happening on the
ground and we're singularly focused on

00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.597
delivering the value to the customers
and that's our go to market. How do we

00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:06.157
get the product to them and deliver the >>
where Ryan is like really very much on

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:10.877
the front line here is you know there's
both how many customers approach you. I

00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.477
think where we're seeing the biggest

00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:14.877
shift is the customers who've approached

00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.877
us very quickly want to move to how

00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.957
would I change my enterprise to express
it in a way that's most valuable

00:11:23.040 --> 00:11:25.837
according to my terms in your product

00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:28.157
and then want to and literally want to

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.877
reorg a shorthand version that we often

00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.877
use is you used to have to take your

00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.757
company private to change the the unit

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:40.557
economics of it basically just like
we're providing venture results high-end

00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:43.677
venture results to normal investors
in the last couple years. What we're doing

00:11:43.760 --> 00:11:45.837
actually in enterprises is providing a

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:47.917
private equity- like transformation in

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.717
the public markets in the public space

00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:55.517
under the current leadership. And that's
essentially what the the our best and

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.237
and by the way, the other thing Ryan
would tell you about is our newer

00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.557
clients have much higher expectations of
us. Like they're like essentially I want

00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:06.397
to trans my transform my business.
I want to do it in months. I want to do it

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:10.477
in the public eye while being in the
public market mostly not exclusively and

00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:12.957
I want you to not only do the product

00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:15.517
side but also tell us how would you

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.557
actually implement AI foundry ontology

00:12:18.640 --> 00:12:23.437
FD model and our tribal knowledge to do
that and you know it's a completely

00:12:23.520 --> 00:12:27.837
different game we used to have to beg
and plead to be at on like you know when

00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:29.597
we first started talking we were begging

00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:32.877
and pleading to be at the margin of a

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:37.437
problem that could affect a subset
of the business. By the way, Sham, you

00:12:37.520 --> 00:12:40.637
know, I don't it's like unfortunately
he can only tell you 1% of what he's

00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:45.677
involved in, but this is like exactly
the same in the US government around the

00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:50.317
world. It's like the things that we're
sitting on and working on are like crazy

00:12:50.400 --> 00:12:53.997
crazy important and they're not
downstream of the problem. They are the

00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.317
problem and we're reshaping them.

00:12:56.400 --> 00:12:59.917
>> Thank you both. Our next question
is from Mariana with Bank of America.

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.757
>> So, I'm going to do
as usual a couple of

00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.237
questions. one on commercial, one on on

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.197
defense or or government on commercial.

00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:10.157
I'd like to follow up to Dan's question

00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.957
and let's see if you can discuss what

00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:15.117
changed from a behavioral perspective

00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.677
from a customers perspective to see this

00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:20.157
accelerated appetite to incorporate

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.517
volunteer to not only accelerating how

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.597
many customers you have but also the

00:13:25.680 --> 00:13:27.917
existing customers go to go up the value

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.357
chain and what changed internally as

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.317
well. We recently saw uh in a visit this

00:13:34.400 --> 00:13:37.597
like AI agents or AI FDAs like how are

00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:39.757
you incorporating tech internally to be

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.677
able to accelerate and catch up with

00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:44.877
that demand and on the government side

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.997
US government up 50% plus is really

00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.877
impressive and how do you think about

00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:55.597
opportunities like golden dome
going forward piling up to this?

00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:58.877
>> Well, you guys want to answer
these questions? I I think I think that

00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.317
there's the external one which is like
what does it feel like that's clearly

00:14:02.400 --> 00:14:06.877
you the internal one is a really subtle
question and I don't know anyone should

00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:12.237
jump in there and then obviously
should we have Sham opine on yeah

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.557
>> yeah well do you want
to start with commercial or

00:14:14.640 --> 00:14:16.557
>> Sure yeah I think uh on the external I

00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:18.477
think it's like going deeper and deeper

00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:22.317
and more and more like tangible results

00:14:22.400 --> 00:14:25.917
with customers where they're both
there's a network effect incoming like

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.717
customer sharing impact that we're
having a direct impact we're having with

00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:31.997
customers. customers are seeing as we
you know it's a continuation of what

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.797
we've been doing but going deeper and
deeper with the customers on that impact

00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:38.637
and and I think that you know what we're
seeing is more and more are now coming

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:42.317
to us saying and the ones that are most
impactful are coming to us saying let's

00:14:42.400 --> 00:14:45.517
do more >> you know Ryan
is our is our best at

00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.157
being a wonderful I'll just give a

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.717
vulgar version here you know uh our

00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:53.597
clients realize that choices suck

00:14:53.680 --> 00:14:58.157
basically and they've tried a lot of stuff
it hasn't worked and then we're in

00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.197
so many vertical we, you know,
we're per, say, let's just

00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:05.437
say we're in vertical 252 and we
dominate for one customer. People see

00:15:05.520 --> 00:15:09.437
that and then they're like, "Oh, well,
I'll try this with some, I don't know,

00:15:09.520 --> 00:15:13.757
knockoff half fake thing." And then
a lot of people really still don't

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.637
understand that are still trying to do
this long migration where you know LLMs

00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.557
are going to perform as if they're LLM

00:15:20.640 --> 00:15:22.717
and ontology and as if the LLMs were not

00:15:22.800 --> 00:15:25.917
a commodity and and then but then in the

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.917
marketplace they see the final result of

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.197
someone else using ontology foundry FDA

00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:36.077
and now it's like wait a minute you
know I'm paying hundreds of millions of

00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:39.757
dollars and getting nothing and the person
down the road I kind of look down

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:44.077
on is way ahead of me and and their unit
economics are transforming overnight.

00:15:44.160 --> 00:15:47.917
And that just shifts the whole
conversation because then we're like,

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.997
okay, well, if you want it to work,
you're going to have to do these five

00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:53.757
things. And these things are like,
you're going to have to talk to Ryan and

00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.997
you're going to have to, I don't know,
occasionally meet with me and you're

00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.797
going to have to actually allow us
to come in with engineers and you're going

00:15:58.880 --> 00:16:02.797
to we're going to have to actually work
on the problems that are valuable for

00:16:02.880 --> 00:16:06.477
your business and also look at the costs
that are dragging you down. By the way,

00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:09.437
the cost for most businesses is not just

00:16:09.520 --> 00:16:13.597
the actual money they're wasting. That
money, wasted money creates an ecosystem

00:16:13.680 --> 00:16:17.117
of waste. They're talking to all these
vendors all the time about all these

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.637
things will never work instead
of solving the problem. It's like and so

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.317
getting the pathogens out of their
business is is a real issue and now

00:16:24.400 --> 00:16:26.397
they're really really interested in

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.477
this. And so, and then on the internal

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:32.877
front, I would say it's just we have to

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.597
double down. The most important thing

00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:37.597
for us internally is with all this

00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:40.557
success, we do not want to give up the

00:16:40.640 --> 00:16:43.677
unique attributes of of Palinger and

00:16:43.760 --> 00:16:47.197
somehow purchase um fake ways for us

00:16:47.280 --> 00:16:52.317
that are artificial for us. And so
making sure we are very very close to

00:16:52.400 --> 00:16:55.837
the problem and making sure everyone
here like if you heard our internal

00:16:55.920 --> 00:17:00.317
dialogue, it's much more like who's
on the factory floor here? What are we

00:17:00.400 --> 00:17:04.157
doing internally? How do we make sure
our products are better and better? How

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.317
do we make sure say Sham you know who's

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.277
a savant at going around and figuring
out what the underlying tech issue is.

00:17:11.360 --> 00:17:15.197
How do we making sure we have the best
product team and the very very exact

00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:18.717
right fit for every single deployment
across our deployments that we care

00:17:18.800 --> 00:17:20.957
about especially mission deployments

00:17:21.040 --> 00:17:23.437
which we highly highly overvalue in

00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:26.637
terms of our time and energy and like

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.317
how do you make sure stays as tribal and

00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.477
cultist and unique as it was 20 years ago?
How do we double and triple down on

00:17:34.560 --> 00:17:38.157
that? And how do we recruit the right
people? And and then internally we have

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:42.877
look, we power ICE. We power efforts
to defend America and Ukraine and with

00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:47.197
allies. We're on the front line of all
adversaries, including visav China, and

00:17:47.280 --> 00:17:51.357
we support we're on we're at ICE
and we're uh we we've supported Israel.

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.597
Okay, these are very controversial.
I don't know why this is all

00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:55.437
controversial, but many people find that

00:17:55.520 --> 00:17:57.357
controversial. Okay. So, how do you

00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:01.037
align people to focus on these things in

00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:05.277
a way that is actually beneficial for us
and our clients? These are really hard

00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:09.677
and tricky issues that we spend a lot of
time I would say as an overarching thing

00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:14.317
because what we found is the more we
focus on our internal dynamics, the

00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.317
better our numbers are. That's why we

00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.837
have less salespeople and we have 77%

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.357
growth in 75% of our market.

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:28.317
121% growth in USCOM. Please tell
that to some of your friends. I don't even

00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:29.837
understand how they can look at these

00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:35.837
numbers and not drop the the key out
of their Motel 6 and just like say, you

00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:39.677
know, I mean, they're like they're
bombastic numbers and but it's but it's

00:18:39.760 --> 00:18:42.797
like internal focus.
>> I'll make the mistake of trying to

00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:47.117
follow Alex there and just say on the
on the internal side with AFD, that's why

00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.837
we actually originally built it.
You know, our headcount has grown roughly

00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.917
10% but revenue grew 63%. How are we
doing that? you know, we've made our

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.477
FDES wildly more productive and I mean,
so much so that we decided to give it to

00:18:58.560 --> 00:19:01.997
our customers and we've started to make
our customers more productive. When you

00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:05.517
have a note like the the Army Vantage
note where the the Army's consolidating

00:19:05.600 --> 00:19:09.917
into the Army data platform, you now
have an army, literal army of green

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.517
suitors who need to become proficient
developers in the software. And you have

00:19:13.600 --> 00:19:16.797
a generation of green suitors whose
first interaction with the software is

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:21.197
going to be with AIFD. They're going
to be superheroes on day one. Uh I think

00:19:21.280 --> 00:19:25.277
that's it's accelerating adoption
is accelerating understanding like the

00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:28.477
depth of adoption not just are you using
it but how much of it are you really

00:19:28.560 --> 00:19:32.397
using how much of it can you understand
uh and then quickly on on your comment

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:35.597
on the US government business like yeah
the number of opportunities out there

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.477
are great I can't comment on on all
the opportunities you mentioned there but

00:19:38.560 --> 00:19:42.477
whether it's NGC2 the continued growth
of Maven I mean we have of course

00:19:42.560 --> 00:19:45.517
America's involved with three conflicts
right now in the world from from Europe

00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:48.797
the Middle East and and in our own
hemisphere right now and things are

00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:51.677
getting a little spicy in Africa >>
by the Let me say something slightly

00:19:51.760 --> 00:19:54.077
political and I'm not saying other

00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:55.917
people agree with this, but when people

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.437
are attacking uh our soldiers for

00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:03.197
stopping fentinel from coming to this
country, I want people to remember if

00:20:03.280 --> 00:20:06.397
fentanel was killing 60,000 Yale grads

00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.557
instead of 60,000 workingclass people,
we'd be dropping a nuclear bomb on

00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:14.797
whoever was sending it from South America.
So I, you know, it's slightly

00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:19.437
like we in this in this at Palunteer,
we are on the side of the American average

00:20:19.520 --> 00:20:21.597
American who sometimes gets screwed

00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:26.477
because all the empathy goes to elite
people and none of it goes to the people

00:20:26.560 --> 00:20:29.677
are actually dying on our streets. And
that's why, you know, it's like when you

00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:34.077
have an open border, it means that the
average poor American earns less. I know

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:37.757
my fellow progressives believe having an
open border is going to make things, but

00:20:37.840 --> 00:20:41.437
that's because they're actually repping
elite people instead of the working

00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:45.277
class. And the same thing in South
America. We It's like, you know, to

00:20:45.360 --> 00:20:49.437
believe our constitution does not give
us the right to stop 60,000 deaths a

00:20:49.520 --> 00:20:51.997
year of workingclass men and women is

00:20:52.080 --> 00:20:57.437
insane. And this company, this country
is right to stop that. And I am very

00:20:57.520 --> 00:21:00.157
proud. I don't know all the efforts
were involved in, but the extent we're

00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:05.437
involved in these efforts, I and most
Palunteerians are very proud of this.

00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:09.597
You're here. >> Thank you,
Alex. As always, we have a

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:11.197
lot of individual investors on the line.

00:21:11.280 --> 00:21:14.717
Is there anything you'd like to say
before the before we end the call?

00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:17.837
>> We're rocking along. Um, please turn on

00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:20.717
the conventional television and see how

00:21:20.800 --> 00:21:23.197
unhappy uh those that didn't invest in

00:21:23.280 --> 00:21:26.877
us are. Um, uh, enjoy, get some popcorn.

00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.397
They're crying. We are every day making

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.037
this company better. And we're doing it

00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:35.917
for this nation, for allied countries,

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.477
and uh, also for what? And I I never
really like the term retail investors.

00:21:40.560 --> 00:21:45.037
How about sane people who put up their
own money and fight for us? And by the

00:21:45.120 --> 00:21:48.477
way, you know, you are fighting for the
right side of what should work in this

00:21:48.560 --> 00:21:51.197
country. Meritocracy, lethal technology

00:21:51.280 --> 00:21:54.237
visav adversaries, uh products that

00:21:54.320 --> 00:21:58.877
spread GDP to workingclass women and men
and women by making their value creation

00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:03.197
higher. And by the way, your bank
account and thank you for that.

00:22:03.280 --> 00:22:07.197
>> Picture this. A potential client
searches for what your business offers

00:22:07.280 --> 00:22:11.677
and your YouTube video appears.
Before they've even booked a call, they've

00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:13.997
built trust with you, turning them into

00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:16.157
a warm lead. That's why our clients are

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:19.037
hitting $100,000 months because YouTube

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:21.517
turns attention into authority. If you

00:22:21.600 --> 00:22:27.440
run a business, book a call.
and I'll show you exactly how to make this
