Okay, got it.
So they saw that there was nothing on our page.
So we threw up fake logos like Zenefits was huge at the time, Dropbox, you know, those kinds of companies.
I love it.
It's what you have to do, right?
And people are like, oh shit, Dropbox is using you.
Yeah, for sure.
So all of a sudden people would sign up and we got some traction on that.
And then literally within two months of that, we applied to YC for what was our third time, but first time with this business.
And we got in.
So we still haven't announced actually.
We've been like really, really, really capital efficient.
But we've raised from, you know, firms like Y Combinator, Real Ventures.
We are venture backed for sure.
Um, so we are thinking about going out and doing a race soon, but it's honestly, it's just kind of the founder mentality that we have.
We're really humble in how we approach a lot of things.
Um, when we went through YC, we were honestly the youngest company in the batch and we were probably in terms of your age, like your physical age or the company's age, the company's age, there were younger, younger founders for sure.
Um, but there are some companies that go through YC that are post series a. And so when we had gone through, you don't typically raise financing when you're
Company's four months old.
But we had the unique opportunity of graduating through YC and getting in front of these investors.
