Everyone all over the globe.
We've got about 90 people in Belarus.
And we've got about 80 people in the U.S.
Actually, to be correct, like 97 are in Belarus.
Last time I checked Slack.
A little over 70 in the U.S.
Well, where do you think that accent comes from?
Uh, we started in Belarus and then I exported myself here, right?
That's where our core is at.
Um, product, uh, some support, some marketing, um, couple of CSMs, some operations.
We try to blend teams, but, um,
For obvious reasons, the team in Belarus is heavier on the product side.
I mean, Belarus is fantastic for hiring engineers.
There are hundreds of outsourcing companies that you can pull from, and we've been fortunate to have our product organization in Minsk.
That works extremely well.
And on the contrary, it's very hard to hire for sales in Belarus.
Almost impossible.
I mean, the marketing and sales were illegal in the Soviet Union.
And therefore, that domain had a really hard time developing, you know.
Yeah.
