Yeah.
No, that was the total.
So, I mean, the very short story is just,
It took us a year and a couple of months to get the product out, which was way too long.
If I could tell my 20 year old self, you know, just
don't try to build a perfect system, try to get something out early, quick, use lean methodology, get customers to see it and then try to iterate outwards.
But, you know, we took, you know, like I said, a year and a couple of months just to get a product out.
And then we were this kind of bidding model where, you know, we had a decent amount of people come in and try to sign up, but almost none of them would actually convert to selecting a gig.
They just kind of move on to the next result on Google.
So I mean, literally.
Uh, 2010, uh, I was 20, uh, 28, 27.
Yeah.
So, I mean, um, I had, my, my dad actually had passed away before a couple of years before where I didn't have a lot of money, but I have, I had enough that if I moved back home, um, you know, uh,
It wasn't easy trying to date, for example, just doing that with no job.
And I had relatives saying, get a real job.
But yeah, I mean, I had something where at least for about six months that I could do something that just focused on coding a site.
I got my co-founder in.
But yeah, I mean, we didn't have a lot of money.
My co-founder had a little bit more.
So at least he could help in terms of just bare bones bootstrapping in that way.
