Q Okay, got it. Three. So this is great. So how did you guys survive COVID? I mean, that's all you have to deal with cutting expenses. I mean, that's a big deal.
A So we were actually really early on. So we only incorporated in October, 2019. So we were a team of two, myself and my co-founder, Erin Morris. So we kept ourselves really lean. We bootstrapped the company. We sort of took trains, um, slept on very dubious Airbnbs when we went to trade shows in London, the works, but really we then managed to secure our first seed round of a quarter of a million pounds. And that's when it changed. And we did that during COVID. And the real reason for that was we secured our first paying client during then. But actually, more importantly, there was actually a big need. People suddenly realized they need to understand where their visitors are on site, knowing that they've just sold a million tickets for a day isn't enough. They need to know actually where are people on site, and that's where we can really help. So we managed to get backing from the European Space Agency for our seed round. Also another organization in aerospace and some fantastic angel investors. And that enabled us to grow our team from two to six and very shortly becoming seven, which really has ramped up our sales pipeline and our sort of development capabilities, which has been hugely exciting.
