We also loved our conversations geeking out about space, and were really inspired by Masaki’s vision of how to communicate the value of IP to the business. We are so grateful to Masaki for sharing his time, perspectives, and stories with us. Also, we note that the revenue numbers Masaki mentioned in the podcast were based on 2019 fiscal year numbers.
