You know, a lot of it, the way I think about going public is you're really just exchanging one set of owners for another set of owners.

The next day you got to wake up and acquire customers and serve them and,

and be a great place to work and, you know, and all of that.

So in my mind, much of the decision between whether we raise private or go public is, is really gets into the conversation with the current owners.

How long would y'all like to be owners?

Right.

And, and that's the way that, that I look at it.

At the end of the day, you got to build a great company.

right?

And when you build a great company, then you have lots of choices.

You have choices with people wanting to give you money privately or people wanting to give you money publicly.

So I know it sounds like a politically correct answer, but truly that's what we're focused on is just build a great company.

And, um, and, and the great thing when you build a great company is you get to have both choices.

Uh, you know, I really don't know if we will or not.

Um, uh, we don't have to, and that's what I said, the

The best thing is when you don't have to.

Optionality.

As you stated, if we're between 120 and 200 and we've raised less money than that and we're cash flow neutral and we're growing fast, then we get options.

Our thing is, as I've told the company, going public is fantastic.

I've been able to be part of that before.
