Q Got it. And then take us through what happened there. So, so you filed for the IPO, you had big ambitions and ultimately you canceled it in December that year. What happened?
A Uh, yeah. So again, you know, uh, If your, your audience is probably familiar, ah, when you go public, ah, you make projections about the growth rate and, ah, what you want to do financially on a quarter by quarter basis. So we went through those motions, and end of the day, we decided that in order to run a sustainable, long-term, profitable company, um, what we wanted to do and what the public market expected from us, expected from, frankly, other, other tech companies that were going public were different. Uh, so, for example, as one, one example, we didn't want to, you know, push the company too hard on delivering, you know, uh, massive quarter over quarter growth. That is something that we cared about, but not as much at the time as, and most importantly, not at the expense of other metrics that matter to us. So we decided it was just basically not a fit, so we decided to pull back.
