We want to learn, we want to make an impact, we want to have fun while we're learning and making that impact.

So the way we think about M&A is if a certain merger is going to help us to learn, make an impact,

Yeah, I would rather have clean terms than... Oh, I see, I see, I see.

So that's for one.

And then for two, if you can grow with the money that you're raising to the expectations of every involved party, and if that growth milestone or the time it's going to take you is something you want to do, then why not to do that, right?

So that's where we were with our Series B. We knew that we can at least 10x our customer base and our annual recurring revenue.

So then why not?

Oh, CEO.

Um, is there a CEO I'm following or studying?

Yeah.
