It’s a deeply technical problem and we hope the prospect of trying to solve it makes you as excited as it makes us. In the short term, we are partnering with financial services firms. The use cases are particularly compelling here (the pain points particularly acute), and it's where we've had the most traction so far The longer-term vision is to change the way all industries handle their data.
