We raised $1.8 million in July 2014.
Do you regret that?
Um, no, I think, I think.
You know, for us, we actually, we didn't have to raise money at all.
We were profitable back then.
But, and we're about, we're making maybe a million dollars a year.
But the problem was when you start selling.
No.
No, sorry, top line.
The problem when you start selling to enterprise customers is that they don't really like to deal with small companies, you know, two guys in the garage, like they don't like it.
So they're like, well, we're going to sign this three-year contract.
how do we know you're not going to go out of business tomorrow?
So we started to think about raising money.
So we raised a very good round and investors included somebody like Mark Cuban, for example, and top VC firms like Google Ventures.
Is Mark a fun guy to work with?
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
He is very busy, obviously.
And right now it's you know, I think they got into the playoffs.
Yep.
