I mean, it's easy to say yes, because I give I regret the dilution.

But on the other hand, I spent it all.

So yeah, I clearly needed it.

And it's tough to say like, one of the challenges is money got so cheap for a while.

I wish that I had raised a few years later.

But then now I realize those companies are raised a few years later.

Maybe they got good terms, but they're all gone.

They're just done because they came too late.

And so yes,

We came at a time when capital was more expensive, but it was also much earlier.

And that's what enabled us to kind of take over the market.

So it's hard to look back and say what you do different.

Oh, well, no, I think that's really kind of stupid.

Like to celebrate raising money is to celebrate that you took out a loan.

Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, things get more refined over time.

And I'd say we raised because it was possible, because everyone thought you had to.

We took some big swings that missed.

And so it's again, it's hard.

Um, I would say like advertising, like advertising is tough.
