   Format: MarkdownItexThe entry currently says: > We say an (infinity,1)-category C is concretizable if and only if it admits a (infinity,1)-functor $U \colon C \to \infty Grpd$. This is an empty request. Every $\infty$-category admits such a functor. Take for instance any constant $\infty$-functor $C \to \ast \to \infty Grpd$. If you really don't want to impose any condition on the $\infty$-functor to $\infty Grpd$, then you should speak of the specification of such a functor not as a *property* but as *[[extra structure]]*.
