We're one of the fastest-growing companies in Canada.

Even though this year has been a slight decline, we're still in the top 100 fastest-growing companies.

So between the space, the belief in our value proposition, our existing investors put some money in it, and the Canadian government-backed VC funds put a couple.

So we raised like $5 million in

a couple of weeks ago.

So that's our runway for another 18 months.

Yeah.

Matching.

It's like, so, so this round was convertible debt.
