So, I mean, I think that, you know, at this point, the whole focus has been on user engagement and student engagement.
And I think that's really what we've prioritized and targeted.
In terms of, you know, different meetings and different VCs, we've had quite a bit of inbound interest.
So that's been sort of one source of kind of getting everything in place.
And then we're also, you know, really strategically picking firms that have a really good reputation for working with companies who've sort of been in a similar stage.
And I think for us,
It's all about finding those right partners.
I think ideally, ideally people who have experience, you know, really scaling smaller companies and who are willing, you know, not to just sort of follow into the round, but really, you know, take an active role as the lead investor.
I think we really want to want to pick the right firm there.
I think we definitely wouldn't.
Yeah, well, I mean, I think the bottom line is, you know, you have to say what you're saying right now.
Well, I think if you sort of look at our track record and what we've been able to do on the student side of things, you know, there's absolutely no reason we can't have 100,000 of the top students in the country on our platform a year from now.
And when you sort of look at the marketplace side of that, and, you know, we just basically started focusing on
on revenue in terms of scaling our sales team.
So we just scaled our sales team from one to four in the last two weeks, basically.
So I think that revenue is a more recent focus.
I think what a lot of companies would say at this stage is don't- Let's ignore revenue, Andrew, for a second.
So yeah, we're starting to see the Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, and Duke numbers pour in, but we've got 8,000 just in the Ivy League.
So we have about 10K total on the platform just in the sort of early weeks of expansion.
So, I mean, again, it just kind of depends on the package.
