I'm not sure again what the right title is.
Your policy advisorship.
Oh
We really appreciate the time of the day, you're sure I'm sure.
So thank you for joining.
Can you give people context for how long you've been around, how you got going, et cetera?
I think I again you all have accomplished an enormous amount.
In a short period of time.
And I think, you know, you've been very quiet about some of the things we've been doing.
So it'd be great to just get a little bit of history and
You know, when you started, how you got started and how long you've been around.
And then you guys are also known for having bootstrap the company versus raising a lot of external venture money or things like that.
Do you want to talk about that choice in terms of going profitable early and then scaling off of that?
Yeah, it's funny.
I feel like I'm one of the few investors that actually tries to talk people out of fundraising often.
Like I actually had a conversation today where the founder was talking about doing a raiser.
I'm like, why?
You know, you don't have to.
You can maintain control, et cetera.
And then the flip side of it is I would actually argue outside of Silicon Valley, too few people raise venture capital when the money can actually help them scale.
