All right, question. All right, question. All right, question. Was the EU/ Was the EU/ Was the EU/ Uh was the Yeah, was the EU/EMEA batch Uh was the Yeah, was the EU/EMEA batch Uh was the Yeah, was the EU/EMEA batch legal paperwork many times more complex legal paperwork many times more complex legal paperwork many times more complex than the US? Thanks for asking, Simon. than the US? Thanks for asking, Simon. than the US? Thanks for asking, Simon. What do you think, Alex? What do you think, Alex? What do you think, Alex? I not as uh not as complex as I I not as uh not as complex as I I not as uh not as complex as I expected, to be honest, coming into it expected, to be honest, coming into it expected, to be honest, coming into it with a a fresh set of eyes. Um with a a fresh set of eyes. Um with a a fresh set of eyes. Um I think mostly it's just identif- it was I think mostly it's just identif- it was I think mostly it's just identif- it was identifying a few differences between identifying a few differences between identifying a few differences between the countries, but our processes are the countries, but our processes are the countries, but our processes are pretty much running pretty much running pretty much running uh uh uh right in line with the Americas batch, right in line with the Americas batch, right in line with the Americas batch, so um so um so um Yeah, I I broad answer, not not as Yeah, I I broad answer, not not as Yeah, I I broad answer, not not as complex as I expected. Would you Would complex as I expected. Would you Would complex as I expected. Would you Would that match your experience? that match your experience? that match your experience? I think Yeah, I don't think it was as I think Yeah, I don't think it was as I think Yeah, I don't think it was as complex. I do know that there is more complex. I do know that there is more complex. I do know that there is more cost for us cuz we have to get multiple cost for us cuz we have to get multiple cost for us cuz we have to get multiple legal firms involved. We have our own, legal firms involved. We have our own, legal firms involved. We have our own, you know, here in America in the US and you know, here in America in the US and you know, here in America in the US and then then then we need someone on the other side. And we need someone on the other side. And we need someone on the other side. And so I think we are paying double the so I think we are paying double the so I think we are paying double the legal cost if I were to guess to fund legal cost if I were to guess to fund legal cost if I were to guess to fund each each EMEA or European company.

Summary
The main theme is the announcement of Tinyseed's expanded accelerator program, now including a dedicated European batch alongside the Americas batch. Key subjects mentioned are the management of the two programs by Tracy Osborn and Alex, respectively, and the significant number of applications received, indicating program success. The practical takeaway is that this expansion allows for better scheduling and engagement within European working hours, ultimately supporting more founders.
