| Explaination | The Howard Law AI Initiative intends to support AI start ups & it will potentially take equity in supported start ups. This new effort was announced in July 2025 and work is currently being done to develop it. It is unclear what businesses this initiative might have equity in or when any business this effort supports might be profitable or what businesses might have a relationship with MD. Additionally, I am sometimes paid to speak about AI. I am noting this out of an abundance of caution. |
