I mean, I was hoping you had mentioned that Salesforce IPO-ed in 2006.
So you could also argue where you were one of the original sort of SaaS models and eventually one of the original enterprise SaaS models.
Would you agree with that?
You launched in 1999?
We can quantify this, though, too.
I mean, I love the story, but we can put real numbers behind this.
It's funny.
I mean, I'm looking here at your profile.
I mean, you launched at Series A or you closed Series A in 1999, not to date you at all, but 1999.
That's right.
That's right.
You're also one of the early uses that I see, I haven't seen many earlier than this, of debt financing to fund a SaaS company so you can preserve your equity as you go into a Series B and onwards.
You ended up, I think, raising, what was the total raised at Coremetrics?
Oh, gosh, I would need to think about that.
I think it was close to $80 million.
And are you able to share back in 08?
This is crazy timing, right?
Remember guys, when I was in 08 in the financial markets, I think you closed your Series E then, it was for 60 million.
Do you remember what that valuation was?
What year was that, Brett?
