So I ended up raising money after the accelerator program closed around very, very, no, actually not long ago, like two months ago, two months ago.

So I raised 690K USD.

So that will give us a, yep.

Yes.

So they take 6% for 100K USD.

Okay.

No, that's on top of the 690.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I guess with the accelerator, the idea is to be able to let you work full-time on it.

So that's kind of what happened, right?

As a solo founder, I took the 100K, gave away 6%, was able to work full-time on my business during the accelerator program, which was three months.

And then after that, at the end, you do demo day.

So with demo day, I actually didn't raise any money from demo day, but it gave me some momentum.

And it let me practice doing my pitch like hundreds and hundreds of times.

And I ended up raising money after that.

But as you know, raising money takes a while sometimes.

So I think it took about

five months in total from, you know, when I first started to when the money actually hit the bank.

Yeah.
