Rejected by everybody.

Great process.

Like I I I I'm glad we got the rejections.

It it it built, you know, this kind of grit uh in in us very early on.

We got super lucky that there was this guy who um who basically I think, you know, saw like a like, okay, here's two kids, I'll help them out.

It was it I f it felt like a little bit more philanthropic.

Um, like as opposed to like this is gonna be like the you know, the

real way that what we make it big.

And so he brought in three friends to invest.

And so it was 20K each.

They invested.

That was, that was great of them.

Unfortunately, a slight asterisk on the story, they actually wanted to get bought back a few years later.

So so it doesn't have the happy ending on on the the multiple that that that could have happened.

But you know, again, it was, you know, all all fair.

Um but they were they were fantastic on betting on the company early on.
