Q Okay. And why go the funded route? Why not really stay disciplined, try and stay bootstrapped?
A Uh, amazing. So, uh, in my mind a little bit, I think bootstrapped is actually a code word for founder wealth. Uh, and so I'm not sure we had some runway as founders to start with. We didn't have, um, at least for the type of product we were building, we, uh, we needed some seed funding in order to, Lights on. And so that was the kind of original impetus for our a round, which we closed earlier this year. That was kind of a different story. And, and we had up until then run the business on kind of a cashflow neutral basis. And for us, that was just, we were excited about accelerating growth and building out like a bigger, uh, go to market team.
