So, yeah.
That's great.
And we've had, I think some of our really early success actually came from also going to two different major conferences, in which case we sort of all got together and did a lot of strategy.
Which two conferences?
So these were in the HR space, uh, the Sherm conference in Chicago, which is the largest, uh, SHRM society, human resource management, um, which was in Chicago this year.
That's probably the largest professional HR conference.
And then the other one, which was interesting because those are not really tech buyers.
Those are more the, the HR generalists and the actual business.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
And what's the second one was the HR tech conference in Vegas.
which was even more interesting because those are actually technology buyers, not so much the business right within HR.
Um, you know, great question.
So a lot of the early investors, um, most of the early investors were kind of friends and family, so to speak, uh, or actually it was more high net worth individuals that are friends.
Yep.
Um,
SafeNote was kind of the preferred choice.
I think looking at what Y Combo is doing and a lot of the way that they've structured some of their deals, this seemed like a really interesting way for us to play the deal.
I think a lot of our investors also were appreciative
Um, so no other particular reason other than, than that, if that makes sense.
