 Welcome to JSA TV where we're covering the latest stories, trends and innovations in the global connectivity real estate and the networks within Buffy Harakitas of JSA TV and joining me today is Jeff Greenberg with Dark Coins. Hi Buffy. We're glad to be here. Yeah, so nice to meet you for the first time. Yeah We've had you here on JSA TV Not too long ago back at Metro Connect. That's right But there's been a lot of news since then coming out of Dark Coins Including the company being named on the Inc. 5000 list and a newly appointed CFO Yeah, so why don't you give us some more insight into those huge Announcements that recently came out of Dark Point. Yeah, absolutely Those are two big ones that came up just in the last month or so So we were super excited to be named to the Inc. 5000 It's obviously a great honor to be associated with the wonderful organization and highly reputable organization like that So that was really exciting for us. I mean, we've had tremendous growth over the past few years So it was nice to be recognized for that and Partly due to that some of that growth. We were able to hire a new CFO Angelica Torres. So Angelica started the week after the Inc. 5000 announcement came out And I teased her that her announcement didn't drive quite as many visitors to our website as the Inc. 5000 But she's fantastic. She's got a lot of experience work with private equity-owned firms like we like we are So she's gonna I think really be a great member of the leadership team and hopefully help us continue to grow at the rate We've been growing out there the last several years. Well, congratulations on the Inc. 5000 JSA is on that list too. Yeah, for the third time in a row Amazing honor to be a part of that list alongside of of dark points like you and congrats Angelica She's watching on her new role as CFO of dark points Speaking of growth, let's dive into that topic a little bit more dark points recently acquired venue. Yep adding three Louisiana data centers to the portfolio. Yeah, why don't you tell us a little bit more about that? Yeah, so that announcement came out in May. We completed the acquisition in the beginning of May So venue does as you mentioned have three data centers in Louisiana to in Baton Rouge and one inch free port And it's great. I mean, it's it's obviously going to be additive to our revenue and It's one of the reasons that's helping us grow very aggressively is it growing through acquisitions venues a great fit It fits from the markets that we serve our sort of mid-sized markets and Baton Rouge and free ports only fit that Category and then also I would say operationally how they treat their customers aligns very well with how dark points treats our customers So that is important to that we have that sort of operational alignment I think that's always, you know a key highlight when you're doing any type of action is ensuring that the Values and missions and goals are somewhat aligned at least absolutely, and it sounds like that was a very strategic acquisition Fitting into this explosive growth strategy that you guys have it was I mean, that's part of our growth strategy We have we call sort of three pillars to growth one is clearly identifying opportunistic opportunities To find that find companies that fit in with us so that we could acquire and then of course We want to grow what we call organically so through them, you know selling more in the markets that we serve and then Very very strategically. It's not going to be as common But finding a market where we would just go build up a brand new data center But certainly acquisition is going to be a big part of how we want to continue to grow We've done three or so over the past few years. So we're gonna I'm sure that's gonna be there's probably gonna be more of those at some point. I would imagine growing. Yeah. Yeah All right, so we'll stay tuned for some possibly Some possible more Acquisition news coming out of dart points in the near future. Can you share some insights into any future goals? I know we just recently touched on potential new acquisitions But any other future goals and plans for dart points in the future? Well, you know growth is the big one, right? So like I said, we want to continue to grow organically find those acquisitions. That would be good. There's I don't think there's anything Super imminent in but you know, hopefully sometime in the next year or so. There'll be another one But really it's continuing to do what we do and doing it Well taking care of our customers getting the word out into the marketplace, you know Participating events like this red Brad on a really interesting AI panel So we want to continue to do things like that and get the word out and make sure people know who we are and consider us when They're looking for a data center operator All right, and if they don't know who you are, yeah, where can they go to find more?
