So that wraps up the day of talks. We do have a reception now downstairs; that’s downstairs where you had your lunch, and also outside in the courtyard. Before everybody disappears, I do have some thank yous.

Thank you very much to everybody who has been running the event, a part of the brewery; it's just been absolutely fantastic. Nothing seems to have gone wrong. A very, very special thanks to Tara over there, Tara's Terrace, part of the Y Combinator team. She's the events manager, and she's worked really hard to make this success.

Also, thank you to all you guys for coming and listening, and thanks to all the speakers who have hopefully entertained you all day.

One of the things that we forgot to mention on the panel is application dates. We will be opening up applications for the next batch in August, so keep your eye on our website for that. The next batch will be winter 2015, which starts in January of 2015, and we'll be interviewing for that in November.

So that's everything from me. Please make your way downstairs and enjoy yourselves with some nice cool drinks.
