It's just the SaaS platform.

But in that first one, I think we made $600 off of the email and work that we did.

And then there was a, I forget if it was $2,000 or $2,500 success fee.

Unfortunately,

Uber made two offers from the muse and both people turned down those jobs.

So we didn't get the success money, but the caliber of people who came through was so high that we felt like we improved.

We were onto something.

Uh, no.

Um, it was honestly not that bad.

I mean, here's the thing.

So there were three of us in the early days.

Um, Alex and I were kind of all in full time.

And then Melissa was a, um, she had been at McKinsey with us.

She was accepted to a PhD in cancer biology and we were trying to convince her to put that PhD on hold to come and do the business.

And what we ended up deciding was she had a smaller percentage and she, um,

actually worked on the Muse and did her PhD first year full-time, then put the PhD on pause, was full-time on the Muse for a year, and now is back doing her PhD, not active in the business, but I'm actually in her wedding as a bridesmaid in a couple months.

Yeah, she's incredible.

Exactly.

And then Alex and I, we had gone full time and taken on risk in slightly different ways.

So, I mean, it's a tough conversation.
