It took me four years to earn a salary.

Yeah, she's been fantastic.

You kind of take the biggest risk and then suddenly the kind of pandemic happens.

And obviously that was a very prolonged episode in people's lives.

And I was very keen, A, to not launch the product and the app during the pandemic.

I just felt like it wasn't the right time.

We were a slightly different app when we launched.

We didn't have the shopping part of the app.

We just had the spare cash feature that I mentioned earlier.

And when people are worried about their kind of jobs and their livelihood, the last thing they're going to do is start to overpay on their mortgage.

And so we paused.

And then we're also thinking about runway because with the tech company, you've got people to pay every month and started looking at the numbers going, okay, how long is this going to last?

Because if it lasts much longer, we're going to run out of money eventually.

And so I had to, like, hire a new team.

We were using kind of third-party agencies initially.

And then we had to find creative ways to, like, bring that in-house and find some interesting ways to, like, prolong our runway.

And then, yeah, so it was definitely an interesting time.

Yeah, no, actually we did that afterwards.

So after COVID we launched.

So I suppose the one thing we did, and so my business partner that I mentioned, he reads a lot of books and he's very much a product guy.
