Pretty much everything was done because it was COVID and then we had all the country lockdowns as well.

So it was a really interesting time to do an acquisition.

We'd met them just before the country lockdowns had happened.

So we were able to travel and meet them once.

But then everything was done over Zoom.

And so we did all of it over Zoom.

It's funny because in Germany, you have to actually go to the notary and actually have the whole contract spoken out even online.

You meant to actually have representatives to sit there and listen to the entire contract spoken out, but they made an exception because of COVID to do everything remotely.

Um, in total, uh, you know, I believe like in total it was around about a 4 million.

I think it was about 4 million.

It was a mix of, a mix of stock and a mix of cash.

I mean, we've had an incredibly fast growth rate.

So, you know, we grew in 2019.

from like two to 7 million.

Um, so, you know, we've got an amazing revenue engine.

I mean, that, that's the heart of our company really is, is, um, you know, an incredible inside sales engine, um, and, and great, great, uh, marketing engine as well.

Um, and so we, we could sell them the fact that they would grow faster with us.

I think in Europe in particular, there's a lot of great product companies that have, um, you know, I don't have the capital to grow and have, um, you know, like generally weak, um,

you know, don't have the investment in the sales team.

And also in their home markets, it's usually a little bit tougher than, say, in the UK or US markets, both of which we have access to.
