So yeah, it's about being that kind of trusted advisor.
That's a good question.
So on the fundraising side, we learned a lot at EF.
They taught us a lot about how to run that.
It's a bit like life, really.
You need to create competitive dynamics.
People, unfortunately, VCs are also humans in that they get FOMO and they want what they can't have.
And so you have to be really disciplined in running the process.
So that's been a big learning and something that I've learned a lot.
But I think also it's important not to kind of over optimize for a funding round.
You need to just focus on building the best business possible, and then good things will happen if you're growing fast enough.
in terms of scaling after, you know, once it was a bit of a, it's, it's a funny like mentality shift when you, you go from being like basically profitable, which we were before to then venture backs and that kind of mind shift.
Like it's in my nature to be obviously be growing really fast, but to like not spend sort of in a profligate way.
Um,
But then that's a bit of a mind shift and a mindset shift, which we've definitely got our heads around now.
But I think every founder goes through that thing when you've suddenly got loads of money in your bank account and now you're like, right, now we need to spend.
But actually, our revenue is growing basically in line with our funding position as well.
So it's like we'll probably never spend even half of the money that we raised.
And then I think from a team perspective, we're trying to keep
as much as possible, a kind of flat structure.
