Pretty good for 10 months.
Absolutely.
Thanks for having me.
Company was called Canopy.
So Canopy is a SaaS software solution for accountants.
I'm a founder.
Yep.
Solo founder.
And yeah, I took it from inception through scale and it continues to do really, really well.
Yeah.
So I left in 2019, took a bit of a sabbatical, and then kind of went back to my roots.
My family is kind of a generational home builder.
And so my parents and then also my grandparents built second homes for people in Lake Arrowhead, California, which is a destination outside of Los Angeles.
We raised, at the time that I left, it was about $70 million.
It was like a B1, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I think like as founders, you have to realize that, you know, there's going to be a time when you're there with the company growing it.
And then there's going to be a time when it's time to move on.
