And this was another sort of lesson was by the time we had, we had raised the money and I was a CEO of that company.
Um, we realized that it's like this, we, we've gotten the money, but we were just like, we're like, we've been at this exhausted and we didn't think it was responsible for us to, we had, we had an acquisition offer and we're like, this is better for the customer.
It's better for us.
We don't right now have the energy to, to, to build the company to where it needs to be.
Um, again, we're going off my memory.
So I would say we're probably at, I want to say like 5,000 MRR.
Okay.
No.
So it was actually one of those things where I basically lost money on it.
I gave it to them.
I was, I knew personally that I was,

So, um, my perspective or our perspective, quite frankly, was we want these companies rely on our service in order to serve their communities.
YC was using it as a way to connect all of their members.
Um, you know,
It felt like if we weren't going to sell for a bunch of money, quite frankly, the next best thing would be to at least have a good story coming out of it and to take care of the people who had taken that initial risk in working with us.
Yeah.
