And now we have the same board of investors.
Yeah, I think that's all fine.
Elivio is of course different.
We respect the existing investors.
Some investors want to join.
Some investors want to go out of various reasons.
So we have a very, I would say, balanced and holistic approach to this.
But as a starting point, we want to balance them as 50-50 as possible.
Because we believe it's important for the future value that we are creating together.
It's very important, of course, to empower and retain talent and especially leaders and founders.
So as Eric is talking about, this approach only works if we are aligning on the future vision.
And if we're seeing JΓΌrgen and Eric, for instance, for SolveMate as my new co-founders, which they are, that's the approach we do.
And we can do that because we are not 3,000 people.
We're now 300 great Dixitarians, all of us, coming from Dixit, Livio, Saltmate, and Miros, from the acquisition we did in France as well at the same time.
And I think that is equally important.
But then, yes, we are in many ways on the same journey.
And we are quite strict on that.
So, of course, we had the luxury of knowing many, many companies in the ecosystem.
And the one that we really wanted was also the one we joined forces with.
But if, for instance, Eric and the investor said, no, we only want cash or we only want shares for the matter, then we would have a challenge because that's also kind of the go-to M&A strategy we have from our board and investors, which we believe is the right thing and very important.
