That's right.
It was just the two of us.
Included in the five.
So it was me and Drew and then three other folks.
Yeah, we had more than 100 companies using us of different sizes.
And we had pushed pretty hard up market in the year previous to joining Zendesk.
So there was kind of a mix of growth stage and early stage companies that we'd had in the years previous.
And then we were able to grow.
And we did a pretty big re-architect in 2016.
And basically, we got into that phase.
Very stressful stage where you sell up to customers that you're wondering, can I service these people?
I hope I can service these people.
They ask for a bunch of custom implementation.
Oh, God.
And we had to redo the stack and we had to move cloud providers.
and do all those kinds of things.
But we were able to do that with the team we had.
And we got to the size where we were closing really like, I would say, almost enterprise-sized customers with our stack.
And so we knew we were good at that point.
I'm not sure that I can share numbers for kind of what our growth rate was, but it was definitely, we went through kind of an acceleration period, I think after YC.
