Q: How should we think about the pathway to international revenue growth and the role of multimodal AI in improving the buyer process?

Q: How have changes in sales function and marketplace menu driven enterprise account penetration? A: Randy Altschuler, CEO: Investments in enterprise sales teams and technology tools like Teamspace and ERP integrations have been crucial. Segmentation and focus on enterprise accounts have led to increased penetration.

Q: Are you seeing changes in buyer behavior due to tariffs, and how is Xometry positioned to address these changes?
