We started Code in the end of 2015-2016 as one of the projects in the incubator.
It really became kind of a core focus.
to really pour our code and launch and build an enterprise platform for events really around 17, 18.
Okay.
Yeah.
So those are the acquisitions.
So that was when we acquired a company in the civic space.
That was all, even though the entity is events.com, that was the kind of in and out of the incubator.
Yeah, it was myself, a gentleman named Steven Partridge and some people that we'd worked with before taking a look at different ventures that could catch fire and really have an enormous
opportunity to scale, build something big, and the events.com domain name is one that we acquired from CBS, believe it or not.
It was originally owned by Bill Gross, not PIMCO Bill Gross, but Idealab Bill Gross.
Oh, wow.
What year was that?
Oh, goodness.
I don't know the exact year, but that I can, I can find out.
It probably was 13, 14.
That's exactly it.
It's really what, which of these will catch fire and where can we really
develop a working thesis that will be scalable.
Okay.
