We've raised about a million dollars in the life of the business.
A lot of different sources, like most entrepreneurs, everything from, you know, we did a startup accelerator.
We've gotten grants.
I've won pitch competitions.
We did two rounds of equity crowdfunding, which is actually probably the most, a lot of people ask me about that.
We raised online via WeFunder.
So we have 300 investors across 36 different countries through those two campaigns that we did.
We got to grow faster.
Minimum is 100% over the past several years.
Uh, we could do that for sure.
You know, it's funny that you mentioned that I was just at the pool before this call and I was helping, uh, like a new swimmer.
And so we help swimmers from beginner all the way through more advanced who maybe swam through high school or college and now they're doing it for fitness.
The app is basically like a personal coach.
So, you know, if you want to go to a gym and you want to get like a yoga class or a spin class, that's pretty easy.
We created my swim pro because you can't do the same thing.
If you want to swim workout, you know, it's very difficult to get that kind of coaching.
So yeah,

Yes and no.
So, you know, what's really interesting, especially with the pandemic, you know, here in 2020, a lot of pools actually shut down.
