Yeah.
Yeah.
So it was interesting in tandem of trying to get Paul into a clinical trial, you know, this idea started to kind of mull in my head and, you know, was talking with a couple of folks about, okay, can we use technology to, you know, really affect a very manual process?
Like currently people are using paper binders, Excel spreadsheets, you know, it's a really, really manual process.
And so it would be, gosh, probably a couple of months that we actually started working on it because we had already been, you know, while we were going through this with Paul, kind of figuring out some things.
No, it was three years ago that Paul died.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, that's okay.
So we started the company, you know, in 2016.
Officially.
Sure.
So we bootstrapped as far as we could go.
We were really fortunate because our first customers, while we had an MVP, were willing to pay something so that we could continue to build the technology.
And from there, we have kind of
pulled together this process.
And, you know, we started with actual paying customers to start.
And then we got to the point where we decided, okay, we're going to need to raise capital so that we can continue to scale the company, add additional people on, you know,
And we raised $750,000 back in the end of December, and now we're doing a $2.5 million raise.
Correct.
That's a good question.
