Thank you, Andrew. Yes, look, I mean, what I can tell you is that the biggest surprise for me coming out of the IPO has been the effect that it has had on inbound interest in joining our network. I'm really pleased to see that happen across a variety of verticals. So as we think about some of the things that we're pursuing, yes, of course, the core mass grocery space is a real area of strength. But now that we have this grocery technology delivery service publisher, and we can show the power of that. I think that is a validation and creates -- and certainly creates interest among other e-commerce companies.
We've had a number of conversations in the specialty retail area. And even nonretailer publishers continuing to see opportunity there. I think we are able to walk and chew gum at the same time. So I believe we're able to pursue multiple different opportunity strands with different publishers. This one is especially exciting in material just because of the sheer scale and because of the fit and overlap between their offer catalog and our current -- I mean, sorry, their product catalog and our current offer catalog and because of their specification as a technologically savvy company that's got a lot of interesting things, both in-store and online coming down the pike.
But look, the more we are seen to be on the front edge of demonstrating what is possible with a sort of showcase publisher, right, where they do things in the user experience, in the life cycle communications, in the way they tie into the in-store technologies of the future. I think the more people pay attention to that and say, I want to be associated with that, best-in-class, both technology and it also just begets more offer content. Recall that my library analogy, the more you bring in kind of publishers and increase the size of the student base, it actually -- in my analogy of a library, it actually attracts more interest in being a part of that library, right, and being part of our offer catalog.
And so the presence of Instacart and its growth and so forth, I think, will benefit not only the existing publishers that we have and bring more offers to them, it will benefit D2C. And it will also, I think, speed up our success rate in converting both the inbound and some of the long-standing outbound ongoing conversations. But we'll -- only time will tell, Andrew, but I'm optimistic.
