00:00BigGeo sits at the intersection of geospatial software, analytics, and architecture.
00:11Why it's so important is we're helping to increase performance for massive geospatial
00:16data ecosystems. Brett, we're here at the New York Stock Exchange. You're here with the Startup
00:21Challenge by Snowflake. So tell me, what were your key takeaways from this competition and
00:27how do you see these insights influencing BigGeo's journey forward? It was incredible
00:32being down there for the Snowflake startup competition. It was really encouraging to see
00:37where they're going with their ecosystem and what they're doing with native apps specifically is
00:41where we're kind of going to market with them. And the support network for me was the biggest
00:46takeaway. It was once we met with them and we were like, we're going to work together, it was just
00:51everybody piled in and we got the job done. So I was very encouraged and I know Brent can speak for
00:56that as well. It was knowing that we picked the right ecosystem to go to market with. Snowflake
01:02was that for us. Now Brent, the data center and cloud landscape is evolving rapidly. How does
01:08BigGeo's technology align with the future of data centers and what role do you envision for your
01:13company in this transformation? It's an incredible technology for the data center space. I mean,
01:19we're having these conversations on a daily basis with some of the world's largest hyperscalers.
01:24Our technology sits right up against, it's built on first principles solutions from the ground up
01:30to increase performance at the data center. So we're looking at this technology as a way to
01:36reduce the amount of electricity consumption for data centers when it comes to geospatial
01:40performance, which is vastly becoming or quickly becoming one of the largest computer workloads at
01:46the data centers. So it's a very important technology to align with our hyperscaler
01:52partners and give them more, save them on electricity so they can spend that on
01:57artificial intelligence. All right now, Brent, we're here at the New York Stock Exchange,
02:03you're on the trading floor. It's awesome. I've seen all the movies. Well, tell me,
02:07how does it feel to be here and how does this experience align with BigGeo's goals and vision?
02:12Well, first of all, it's great to be here. When you walk in, the experience is incredible. I
02:16think back of all the movies I used to watch and the film of the New York Stock Exchange. So it's
02:19really neat to see. And ringing the bell today with the closing bell with these other great folks
02:26that were in the Startup Challenge is going to be a great experience. Maybe one day we'll be
02:30back here ringing it again ourselves. So something to look forward to potentially.
02:34Well, look forward to having you back. It's been wonderful to have you both on the show. Brent,
02:38Brett, thanks for joining me on 4Talk. Wonderful to meet you. Thank you so much.
02:41Thank you. Thank you.
