Very widely.
It's not an ESOP, but it's profit.
Not counting, well, almost 80%, including me and the other executives.
Yeah, because we raised so little money.
We only raised 11 million bucks.
Okay.
That's including you though.
You plus employees.
That's including me.
But if I take away the really senior people, it's still 60%.
My biggest thrill, I tell people, honest to God, I will measure the success of this company by how many of our employees make a significant amount of money when we sell or when we exit or do a recap.
To me, I was successful in my first company.
I wasn't really focused on the money.
