Q Okay, so the golden question then for you, is expansion into Asia part of the plans?
A Eventually, it will be. The, you know, North American market is so massive, and I think the small business landscape here is so broken for the small businesses themselves that I think there's a lot of opportunity to expand even within the U.S., And, uh, and Canada. I think eventually we do want to, uh, expand internationally, not only to Asia, but also to Europe. But I think that it's not going to be over the next few months, that's for sure. But I think one thing to really think about is that we're mostly focused on small businesses and small and medium sized businesses. And, uh, what that means is that they're usually unlikely to deal with suppliers that are based far away from where they're located. So, uh, There aren't a lot of small businesses and medium-sized businesses that are dealing with factories and suppliers that are thousands of miles away, so the SMB market tends to be a lot more regionalized, nationalized, and kind of localized. If and when we do expand internationally, whether it's Asia or Europe or elsewhere, it would probably be more defined by kind of national, local strategy, you know, in different countries, rather than kind of just connecting buyers here in the U.S. with international suppliers.
AI assessment note: “Eventually, it will be.”
