Yeah, we actually, it's kind of a funny story.
We met through a bunch of mutual friends who actually ended up being our other co-founders.
So there's actually six founders of Emoji.
And so we all met a few years ago and just became really good friends.
And as we were kind of talking about,
stickers and how the whole emoji space was blowing up, these were kind of the perfect people to start this company with.
And so fast forward a few years and kind of here we are.
I'll just give you another example.
Yeah, I mean, we have, I think it's almost 50 partners who have integrated the SDK or the API.
So whether you're using a keyboard like Flexi or Edge or Emote or Slash or you're using text-free or even Dubsmash, you'll be able to find emojis through all those apps.
We also have our own keyboard.
So if you want to use iMessage and emojis with that, you can either do it through the Emoji app or through our native...
keyboard.
So it's, it's, there's many, many ways where you can actually find emojis.
But what I wanted to kind of bring up another example of, of where you can, you know, a recent event, you know, DJ Khaled, he's just been blowing up and, and it's really happened in the last month or two when his Snapchat fame has just absolutely taken off.
And so again, what Jason was saying is our content team then goes and finds the best DJ Khaled
And then we feature them in both the emoji app and then in our partner apps.
So whatever's happening in the world, whether it's the Super Bowl or whether it's a new movie that's coming out or whatever it may be, our content team is looking at all those different things and then figuring out what's the best content to show to our users.
All those different partner applications, whether it's, you know, whether it's text-free or whether it's in the emoji keyboard or Dubsmash.
I think you got all the big ones.
