Strategic Investors - however because we’re also going to be building a pretty sophisticated badass facility, it helps to have support and the second type of investors are these type of strategic investors that can help us in all directions in progressing the business, things like finance, government relations, capital market access/relationships, marketing... so mainly they’ll invest and share their “resources” to further us beyond just finance
Others - special assignments or top priority cases may require dedicated focus which we will help guide and form “tiger teams” to tackle those projects such as corporate relations or venture investors. This maybe through business development or other processes.
