Well, that's a really good question, because we'd be more... If you said to me, I could get an extra thousand developers up on the platform building really interesting things versus another 100K in revenue, I'd choose the thousand developers building on the platform.
Because it shows that it's got real life to grow.
It shows that people are trying to build new and exciting applications that they're then selling on.
And I think that's when you get into that series A, can I just show potential for how much we could grow and how many people we have using the platform versus how much do I have to show that we've already done?
And that'll become a big question for us about which one of those we're really pushing as the metric for the Series A round.
And my hope is that I'd be saying, you know, it's a no-brainer because we've got 10,000 people building on the platform.
And those 10,000 people, even if only 10% of them hit real value, we're going to be, you know, huge.
How many individual people...
So in the open source, we're not that many.
So it's as a data platform that people are really contributing.
So they're hosting their data on the platform.
They're using it.
They're opening their databases on a minute by minute basis, hour by hour basis.
They're building applications that are solving real business challenges out in the world.
And that's really what we want to see is that they're using the platform as a backend for whatever they're building.
Well, 13.
And how many engineers?
Almost all engineers.
So there's 11 engineers.
Yeah, well, until you guys sent Striper over to us, it was a lot cheaper.
