And I started this while I was at Goldman Sachs.

So I tell people, this is what I'm doing on the side.

And what I found was,

is that people tend to get FOMO.

So as an example, we had someone that's quite high profile, like the former CFO of Microsoft US and India, who I kind of knew through my network and I met him and I was telling him about what we're doing and he does angel investments.

And he was like, I like the idea of this, I might invest.

So I started telling everyone that he's probably gonna invest.

And he had it actually 100% committed, but everyone else was like, if he's going to invest, then I want to invest.

And I went back to him and I said, look, we pretty much got all the money in, are you going to come in?

And he was like, yeah, yeah, sure.

So he did invest.

Yeah, so he did invest.

So, you know, these types of things kind of helped.

Shared the information.

And people would come to me asking me, please, can I invest?

Because they knew me.

They knew I'd rather worked with them or I'd gone to university with them or they were like members of my family.

And they knew that, you know, they like to think I've got quite a sensible head on my shoulders.

And so I kind of would have thought this through and they saw the excitement and they believed in what I was saying, that they could see this kind of being very big.

And so, yeah, they gave me money and that kind of was that kind of initial investment.
