We're very lucky.

Our valuations have been very, very strong.

I think we're thoughtful.

For us, it's not just about getting the highest valuation.

We're very thoughtful around how much we raise and when for that exact reason.

I don't know if you know this, but I'm a venture partner at a Silicon Valley-based Series A firm.

And so I'm all too familiar with understanding the dynamics between

raising too much, raising too little, having enough traction, not having enough traction.

So I feel very lucky to sort of see it.

You're very smart.

And absolutely, we're big believers in what we're doing.

And we also understand that in a competitive market, you want to have enough capital to scale the business appropriately.

I think it was great.

I mean, I think, you know, Wattpad was an incredible place to learn about scaling a very global business in the creator economy.

So it definitely, definitely helps.

And I would say a big part of it is the dynamic between my co-founder and I. He's also sold companies and had great exits before, and we're very complimentary and mission-driven.

I think that...

The combination between our passion for what we're doing and the growth in the market and our backgrounds made our funding three times oversubscribed.
