Um, yeah.
So after YC, we raised 2 million and then about two years later we raised another million and a half.
So we've raised three and a half million total.
Um,
But, you know, ironically, we have more money in the bank than our, you know, our previous round that we raised.
I think... What was your previous round?
The 1 million?
Yeah, it was one and a half.
Yeah.
One and a half.
Okay.
Like over three years now at this point.
I think the thing that we've always done that was a little different is we always thought of ourselves as building a real company.
And since we never raised a ton of money, I feel like we always had to be very disciplined about how we spend our money and how we focus.
Yeah.
And I think like what happens a lot with a lot of startup companies, they raise huge amounts of money.
They make big mistakes and then they pull back dramatically, which is really damaging for the company.
So I think we've had to focus more on the customer than I say, than I think like a lot of other companies have had to.
Yeah.
What's interesting is that up until January, it was something that was really weird.
