So first to make money for the investors, I think going public is a better bet.
So we'll try to do that.
But I think, you know, a lot of companies from Microsoft, Salesforce, etc.
have acquired email companies.
I think it makes a lot of sense for them.
but also 100% of those companies who have been acquired shut down.
And I think it will be very hard to keep our product.
We try to make Front as a platform, integrate with third-party tools, integrate with every channel that you use to communicate with your customers.
And I think we could not do that if we were acquired.
And so it's really true that if we want to achieve our mission, which is reinventing emails for our team, I think an acquisition is not...
It's probably the best way to be rich in the short term, but I think it's not the best way to have as many active users as we'd like to have.
No, I would say that we've iterated a lot on the product, so both on the features and the design.
I think it's very hard to get it right because email is very sensitive and people don't like changing their email habits.
And so number one would be people that dislike how fast we've changed core features.
Yeah, even, you know, like I think I understand that people don't like to change on something that critical.
But because we were so early in our product, I think it's important for us to test a lot of different things.
And it's not super pleasant in the short term when we have people that live, but we think it's a good investment in the long term.
So our goal is 10% every month net growth.
We'll see.
I don't know.
