I met him online and I hired him into the previous business.
I don't know.
It was like some forum or something.
I can't even remember.
But I met him online and he was working with me, helping me on the previous business.
And I kind of just like went off and sort of started doing paddle and then immediately like a weekend or something said to Harrison, like, look, I'm doing this thing.
It's been a frustration of ours at kind of the company that you've been helping me with.
What was the name, by the way, that first company?
The name of the first company was called Invola.
I-N-V-O-L-E-R.
It was invoicing software for freelancers.
And we used to partner with people and do bundles and things like that, which is where a lot of the revenue came from.
But yeah, so I started the business technically on my own.
But then before we even launched anything, raising money, did any of that stuff, Harrison was a co-founder.
Um, it was fairly easy on the basis that kind of, um, like I was bringing over like the initial money, um, in order to do this stuff.
Cause like I kind of, the other business was like reasonably successful.
It was fairly low margin.
Cause we did a lot of stuff, um, kind of like promotional stuff and discounts and things like that, but kind of, it was profitable.
It made money and things like that.
So I was kind of bringing forth the first sort of capital to put into the business.
