Q It's 15.2 posts. So, I mean, that's essentially 13 pre, right? Or about 13 next, your, your ARR. I mean, does that feel fair to you, or do you feel like it could have driven it higher or lower? You know, what do you think?
A We could have totally have driven it higher. I mean, the market, you know, better than I do, the market's pretty frothy right now, and we could have driven it higher, but we were really, my biggest problem with fundraising was telling people no, and the reason being is we wanted to be as strategic as possible. We were in a position where we had bootstrapped this. We didn't necessarily have to raise money. The only money worked You know, we're burning some of the original money we put in at this point are saved along the way, and we're using that to drive some marketing. So we really wanted to raise money to start bringing our, our development talent, our, our product team in house, because that's been outsourced previously and to grow our sales and marketing team, uh, and what we're doing there. So we, we wanted to be as strategic as possible. So that meant staying a little bit away from the VCs because we're not going the traditional fundraising route and going more towards angels, which is a little bit different valuation.
