You mentioned that, um, you've had some liquidity events and that's, that's a big way to measure it, but are there specific things you track for those cornerstones? You say, you know, these one or two or three things give us an indication that these programs are really being affected yet? Bill Carpou: You know, so, so I think, like you were saying about the quality of our conferences, the amount of attendees we've got, the creation of companies in the capital raise is one set of metrics, but the two that were really focused on, and it may be, it's really the one's job creation. Right now. We have forecast at 22,000 new jobs by 2025. We can revise that to 55,000 by 2030 with a, uh, expanded infrastructure and that will build longterm sustainability. So if you look at our strategic plan, it's all about moving towards those 55,000 jobs in job creation, building a sustainable longterm organization. ### Related Categories [Orange County](https://blog.octaneoc.org/tag/orange-county) ### [Cara Davidoff](https://blog.octaneoc.org/author/cara-davidoff) Popular [Start Up](https://blog.octaneoc.org/topic/start-up) [Business Resource](https://blog.octaneoc.org/topic/business-resource) ## [Why Brand Strategy Is So Important For Startups](https://blog.octaneoc.org/why-brand-strategy-is-so-important-for-startups) [Read more](https://blog.octaneoc.org/why-brand-strategy-is-so-important-for-startups) Popular [Business Resource](https://blog.octaneoc.org/topic/business-resource) ## [The Importance of a Human Capital Management Strategy](https://blog.octaneoc.org/the-importance-of-a-human-capital-management-strategy) [Read more](https://blog.octaneoc.org/the-importance-of-a-human-capital-management-strategy) Popular [Orange County](https://blog.octaneoc.org/topic/orange-county) ## [City of Hope: Advancing World-Renowned Cancer Treatment and Research in Orange County](https://blog.octaneoc.org/city-of-hope-advancing-world-renowned-cancer-treatment-and-research-in-orange-county) [Read more](https://blog.octaneoc.org/city-of-hope-advancing-world-renowned-cancer-treatment-and-research-in-orange-county) ## Accelerate Your Capital Funding Strategy LaunchPad is a Top-5 SBDC in the nation, offering pro-bono expertise help you prepare to raise capital.  [Apply to LaunchPad SBDC](https://info.octaneoc.org/launchpadapply) ### Let Us Know What You Thought about this Post.
