We were seeing some early traction.

We, you know, I think really there it was about a bet on Rich and me and the team we had put together.

What was the team size then?

Do you remember?

Uh, we were small, I would say no more than 10 people.

Um, so it was really, you know, rich in myself and actually, so sorry, before we raised that money, we were three people.

It was rich in myself and, uh, the first employee at the company was a guy named Eric Stern.

And, um, we, it was really us kind of hacking on this, supporting ourselves and,

Um, we'd been funded by Y Combinator and that was just enough to kind of keep things going.

And then we raised $1.7 million from August capital and an angel investor named Eric Dunn.

That was post Y Combinator.

That was right after Y Combinator.

Yeah.

And they, uh, and that was kind of what allowed us to get an office and hire our first couple of team members, uh, as well.

But I think that was really a bet on the team and the market, um, because our product and the sort of proof points there, um, you know, we're still super, super early.

Yeah.

So 2016, um, definitely sort of low single digit billions, uh, as we were, as we were growing.

Um, but, but, you know, and sort of doubling year over year.

And then, um, you know, obviously coming into this year, another big step up.

And then with this, uh, recent transaction with chase, um, you know, we, uh, you know, we're excited to kind of take things to the next level.
