Greg's going to be a first-time speaker.

He's obviously flying into Dublin for this event.

He bootstrapped to 50 million ARR, which, again, was such an impressive feat to do that.

I don't know what the percentages are of founders that have done that, but I'm sure it's less than 1%.

So that's going to be super exciting.

He's going to share why after bootstrapping to $50 million, and that's a great business, why he took venture capital, why he did a secondary, and really share openly and honestly his thought process about doing that.

Of course, somebody's going to be investing $180 million and there's a big secondary there.

It's going to be tempting.

But if you've got a $50 million ARR business, there perhaps is no need to.

We know some bootstrap founders that are at $100 million ARR with great profit margins that

We'll never sell their business, right?

Because there is really no need to.

So it's going to be really interesting to understand why Greg has done that.

And I think perhaps part of it is around faster growth.

There is the secondary part, but faster growth for the business because you're seeing the potential for Muckrack to maybe just get to where he wants it to be a lot quicker than that bootstrapping route.

So yeah, I think it's called The Journey of Bootstrapping to 50 Million ARR.

Before bringing on an investor, why things have changed, right?

And it will be open and honest conversation on the bootstrap stage.

I'm sure you'll be there in the front seats and watching that one.

Yeah, I think it'd be around to like 5,000.
