Yeah.
We were pretty much zero.
We just launched payments.
And if I remember correctly, that would be, I don't know, maybe $200.
$200.
Yes, absolutely.
About two years ago, like in summer, we had the idea and the first line of code was written.
And I think two months later, we already launched the MVP.
So like the minimum viable product on product hunt, and we got to number five product of the day.
And that basically kickstarted the company.
Correct.
I think it's a combination of both.
I think there's a big element of luck when it comes to product hunt launches, but we tested the waters.
We did some preliminary, let's say, launches for smaller products, useful for the community just to get a feel for product hunt in general.
But I think the main advantage for us is that usually, for example, we heard that the audience on Product Hunt doesn't have very good retention.
And I think that the reason for this is that you have a lot of repetitive products, like a lot of website builders, for example.
And in our case, we were very unique.
And I think also the name helped and the whole branding.
And we see a lot of the people who tried BERT on the first day, like on the launch day, still with us today.
So that's very interesting to see.
