Q Got it. Okay. Walk me through more of your founding story here. So you've done a lot. You've had a lot of successes. Which means you could really do anything. I'm curious where your head was at when you launched the company. How many years ago was that and why invoice pay?
A So we launched invoice pay back in 2009, and there are three of us that are founders. There's another woman who knows a lot about payments and has been in the payment space for years before invoice pay. There's myself and I come from kind of a marketing slash finance background. And then there's just a brilliant guy who's a technology, um, focused guy. And the three of us started invoice pay in 2009. And I think it's really important, right? When people are founders, it's really important to Um, come together with people that have different skills than them and work together. So I can't imagine starting a company on my own without, you know, the, the skill sets of the founding team in this together. So way back in 2009, nobody was talking about B to B payments. Um, we started in Portland, Oregon, which does not have a deep or broad technology, you know, venture capital funding Um, area. And then we also started by targeting automotive dealerships. So I laugh. We had three strikes against us, right?
