Yeah, most of it is.
And so one of the things that we're doing now is it's very much about how quickly can we grow these communities and scale them.
So San Diego is a really cool new market for us, and it's growing at a nice tick.
And then
The idea is then to take that blueprint and success and then scale it across multiple cities across the United States.
Uh, it'll, it'll be exceed a hundred million dollars this year.
Okay.
But you're not sure what that growth rate is going to be at yet.
Fourth quarter is our biggest quarter.
So my background is actually when I was 22 years old, I dropped out.
I was going to go to law school and didn't go.
I'm East Indian, so I'm supposed to be an accountant, lawyer, a doctor.
Very happy about that.
And I started this company in Toronto called Barter Business Exchange, and we grew it.
to about 6,000 businesses across Canada.
In 99, we merged with a smaller company out of Seattle, and we created ubarter.com, took it public during the whole first wave of the dot-com boom, and had a successful exit, and we were acquired.
uh, basically, you know, took some time off.
Uh, kind of in between.
So it was, it was, it was pretty good and it looked really good on paper, but we did.
Okay.
