I remember us doing interviews at Facebook's offices and talking to Microsoft's team about a potential deal as well.

And it got pretty far where we were even having our employees go into Facebook's office and doing tests to evaluate their skill level and stuff to see if it was a cultural fit.

But the lawsuit really screwed that one up.

That's correct.

But with the lawsuit, no publicly traded company wanted to take on the liability.

So a chance of acquisition was dead in the water.

And because Crazy Egg was separate, that company was still spitting off millions of dollars and growing each and every single year.

So it was a blessing in disguise that we didn't take venture capital for Crazy Egg because then we wouldn't have that cash cow.

Keep it simple, silly or stupid.

I was trying to be nice, but yes, internally we would say stupid.

Externally we would say silly.

Yeah.

And then Crazy Egg, back in the day when I was 16, I started my first business.

It was a job board, failed.

I registered a few domain names.

One of them, one of the students that I went to high school with gave me the idea of Crazy Egg.

I'm Indian.

I don't mean to stereotype, but the place I'm from in India, we're known to be penny pinchers.

And I was like, well, I don't want to buy a new domain name.

I already have one that I'm paying for.
