Q Okay. So that makes sense why you'd raise some extra capital here. It's not like you got seven million, you know, going to the bottom line. Interesting. Okay. And then you obviously raised during COVID. It sounds really like a cushion. Uh, you just want to be a hundred percent sure you have lasting power. That sounds like that could be pretty darn diluted. Was it?
A Uh, not as bad as it could have been. Um, we, we still did an up round. So the previous round, yes, everyone was going down. Everyone was cut. We still had a, a, not a huge, you know, increase, but definitely a, a somewhat of an increase. Um, and it was enough that we're like, it's enough money to make sure that we have the next two years. If we ever had challenges, we weren't burning a lot of money because we're making a lot of sales. So, and just to put it in our perspective, we were doing about 800,000 or so right before a month, right before the pandemic hit. Pandemic hits, our sales drop off to 300,000. So you can imagine being in a space where every trade show, every event, all offices are being closed. Like how can you survive doing 300,000 when the team is built for like break even at 800,000? So we had to do that. About five months later, our sales started to incrementally grow. And in November, December, we're doing three to four million a month in sales. So it really picked up at the end of the year.
