EP 591: Now Interact Closes $5M Round On $18M Pre Money Helping Enterprises With OmniChannel Data with CEO Magnus Astrom

So that's where we put the money.

Because we had a substantial revenue from the old product, which is not what we want going forward.

So we have been like, you know, growth rate of about 20% if you look top line.

The last year, what was your revenue?

EP 591: Now Interact Closes $5M Round On $18M Pre Money Helping Enterprises With OmniChannel Data with CEO Magnus Astrom

I have to think a bit here and calculate.

EP 591: Now Interact Closes $5M Round On $18M Pre Money Helping Enterprises With OmniChannel Data with CEO Magnus Astrom

So it's three and a half million.

Yes.

So we have been quite flat on the revenue growth if you look top line, but it's all about shifting from the old one to the new product.

EP 591: Now Interact Closes $5M Round On $18M Pre Money Helping Enterprises With OmniChannel Data with CEO Magnus Astrom

Took in the money, I think it's about 13, 14 million pre-money.

So,

It's all about, you know, you have different stakeholders, you have employees, you have the investors, you have the customers, and you have the balance between them.
