Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think that we evaluated that too, when we were chatting, you know, with you and Skylar and I spent a lot of time together.
And I know Andy and Skylar, you know, at the hip to hip now, but we looked at other alternatives and you start to look at things.
And I think Andy probably said it early on, you want to work with somebody that actually can bring value to you.
So it's not just about the equity and the way it's structured.
It's also, you know, we felt like you could be a big part of our team at whatever level or the founder path organization.
And then you look at time, time to money.
You know, we were looking at that.
And I mean, we knew we could go get some other money.
And in fact, I'll tell you, we've had, you know, current investors come back and say, hey, wait a minute, you know, and I'll give Andy the kudos here.
Wait a minute.
We now think we may want to jump back in here and this and that.
That's awesome.
Yeah, Andy held firm on it.
We had a meeting and Andy, it all happened pretty quick.
So for us, what we're getting is more than just, you know, the equity.
And we discovered that with you and your push to get, you know, the go forward team further down that path with additional equity.
And we knew we were getting a team, you know, whether it's you or your extended team and some knowledge and then support.
I've worked with bad boards that, you know, pretty much just slay and beat and drag people through a process.
