I think we had about $18,000 in funds raised.

But I wasn't doing a Kickstarter to make $50,000.

I was doing a Kickstarter to break six figures to really see if we could make a company out of it.

And I just...

very quickly started to realize, OK, this isn't going to work.

We have to push this up.

And so we immediately, I have a lot of manufacturing contacts from my days at Freshly Picked, got a quote from somebody overseas, switched up the whole campaign so it was going to be less expensive because we were going to make it overseas, even though we were going to keep all the materials from the same people.

And about a weekend, we changed the price of our campaign and said, OK, it's no longer made in the US.

It's going to be made in Asia.

And this is a new price point.

And we kind of reset my campaign about seven days in.

And we're able to raise another $220,000.

Got it.

Got it.

All bootstrapped.

We're actually in a

I think next week will be the first time we've had inventory.

Every time we're about to get new product in, we sell them.

And so we're gonna get inventory in next week, and then we have a little bit that we're getting, and then we'll have a bunch coming in June.

So we're really kind of taking that leap now, finally.
