I'm now at $20,000 per top.

Five and six million.

He is hell-bent on global domination.

We just broke our 100,000-unit soul mark.

All right.

So it was a it was a company based on a technology that was licensed out of Virginia Tech University.

I was a student at BT, started in 2008 in business management.

And I decided to start a company around a technology where we developed medical devices based on bacterial cellulose, which is basically a novel material, a very innovative material that's been used for basically hundreds of years for desserts, actually, in the Philippines.

And now we decided to take it to the market for medical purposes.

So I was actually, the company still exists.

I made an exit myself to the other shareholders.

I was bought out.

It was a decent exit.

And I decided to, actually my mentors and I, we decided to, I need to go back.

I need to go back, get my master's.

The plan was to come back and continue with the business after two years.

But then I got involved in this and it's just, this thing just blew up.

I sold a portion so they could take majority of it.

I felt that this was basically required to take the business to the next step.

The company was in a preclinical stage, meaning we had products already in preclinical development.
