I mean, the process began in December.

And so that was, it was a crazy raise, really.

There was a lot of interest.

In November, we had seen the incubation.

One of the cool things about events is, and you can see it with Eventbrite, you invite

You invite a thousand people to an event, right?

A thousand people will see the Eventbrite logo, get excited, and if they have a great experience, they'll say, when I run my next event, maybe I'll use Eventbrite.

I've seen that before.

Now, on the other end of the funnel, though, going to a physical event is complicated.

It's not very accessible.

It's not easy to bring people in, basically.

It's not easy to plan it.

Whereas with Hopin, I always said we're probably going to be the fastest growing company in the world when we decide to push out because we saw the viral effect.

You get a thousand people in a funnel coming into one event.

And then on the other end of the funnel, when they finish the event, if they have a great experience, it takes 10 minutes to set up an event on Hopin.

And you can engage your entire, and this is what we're seeing, because we have virtual gym nights people do.

We have conferences.

I mean, we really consider ourselves just a venue.

And that's why we kind of allow people to do any type of event they want to do and just give them the tools to do it.

And so that's our philosophy and it's worked really well.
