    Touché, but I counter with much being converting a shoe company to a consumer based AI sales company.

    As in: well that’s a bit much.

        Easier to sell too. Investors are dumb, they’d prefer a pretty lie than an uncomfortable truth. Give them the pretty lie and they’ll throw money at you.

      It converted to a company that sells buzzwords to investors as far as I can tell.
