But yeah, no, we'll definitely have some additional products.
I made an acquisition last year, last January, actually, of another software company that was a little bit of a startup.
Uh, that's a, that's a great question.
I'd say there, there's no science to that.
It's definitely an art and, and really it comes down to how strategic is it, right?
Like if you're just acquiring a company, it's going to give you a little bit of revenue and do it.
Like it's, it's not that fun, but you know, I wanted to go out and find a company that was in optometry, had deep roots in optometry.
So I found one that was founded by an optometrist, had a great product that was very new to the market, had a lot of potential.
And so what I did, I mean, I haven't paid, it was a very strategic acquisition, but that there's one universal law of startup founders.
Everybody thinks their company's worth more than it is.
And so, you know, you have to, you know, you have to, you know, navigate those waters, you know, the egos that may or may not exist, you know, when it comes down to actually talking about value and all of those things.
So, and a lot of people look at,

So nine times out of 10 founders won't hit their, you know, projections for the new year.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And, you know, we got a little bit of a team, you know, Dr. Nathan, who was the founder, he stayed on, he's my VP of product now.
I looked for somebody that, you know, I could do life with, somebody that I knew I could be friends with, you know, go out, you know, vacation with if I wanted to, things like that.
I looked for somebody who had a good team, a great concept, you know, and something that, you know, I could take my, you know, marketing and scaling expertise and really just blow it up.
And so, yeah.
