Like actually this idea that like, oh, I don't want to do that anymore.

I'm off.

I actually wanted, I started to strongly feel that we needed continuity.

I needed the story of You Can Book Me and the company and the product and everything we've worked towards.

There needed to be some continuity there that I could be a part of, that I liked.

So essentially it was almost like, and we did feel a little bit like this on the day after close.

All of us have felt like we've applied for a job to work for capacity.

You know, we've all started to work for capacity now.

And that needed to be as good and as important for me and Keith as anybody else.

So the alternatives for us would have been private equity.

You know, all of these huge vehicles that come along and try to scoop up loads of SaaS companies at about our kind of level.

um and we all know their names you know they're absolutely massive um and for me i think i'd always have felt like even if they'd given me double if even if i'd got double double the amount i'd all i would always have felt like i was walking away from something that i helped create that i think i'm very proud of um this way and so i i never did it we got offers in fact we got offers over the last couple of years we've had quite a few offers but i never wanted to do it because i didn't want that feeling and i think that the the point that i realized we could sell was actually

was when we went to St.

Louis in Missouri, where capacity is based, me and Keith flew out.

So to try to reduce the amount of time for DD, we did a face-to-face, which I'd never done before, but I 100% recommend it.

So me and Keith went to St.

Louis.

And on the first day we were there, obviously everybody's a little bit trepidatious.

I do my presentation.

We meet David.
