So now that we know 600 customers, 9 million of revenue, have you bootstrapped this from scratch or did you raise a bunch of capital?

Oh, interesting.

Okay.

So I didn't, I didn't pick up on that.

So we know Constellation actually like very, very well.

We've interviewed many CEOs that now work for them.

So you're part of obviously that larger organization.

Let me go back to before they acquired you, just to be clear, that acquisition happened, you said in 2016, 2017?

2020.

Oh, it was in 2020.

Okay.

You said that you almost, I think I heard you right.

You said you almost went bankrupt in 2015, 2016.

Did you ever think about shutting the business down?

Okay, fair enough.

But so before that, you just raised the $600K seed yourself and the $2.1 or $2.2 million from other folks.

That's all you raised before the CSI acquisition.

Oh, I see.

Okay, tell me that story.

Because a lot of founders, when they're thinking about just their capital, like their story, their capital stack, they go, man, today, right now, I'm raising capital.
