But we could blend them into what the customers wanted as well. And so even now we have this vision of when I like I carry this vision all the time of, OK, I know exactly what I want Axiom to be. But we're always trying to align it with the current needs of customers or like the three month or six month needs of customers. And then we don't try and make roadmaps as much.

We're just more in terms of here's what the quarter looks like. Here's what we absolutely know what we'll do in the next quarter. Otherwise, we won't overly define things right now.

So the core team of Axiom has known each other for over 15 years. We've probably been working together for most of that time through multiple companies. So we're all nerds and we all are Linux nerds. So we actually met each other on IRC a very long time ago. And we were all building open source projects, tools and search and all these different things. And so we became friends like that.

And over time, I ended up at Canonical, where I was leading the desktop experience team for Ubuntu. And so essentially, as soon as somebody says, hey, you should hire some people, you obviously go to your friends. And so I had the opportunity to hire my friends from IOC over into Canonical, and we were spread out. there was somebody across, actually just across the world, they were everywhere.

And essentially, we always worked in those kind of remote setups, always being on ISC, talking a lot, discussing things, etc. And then going back and just executing those plans. And so actually, the core of Axiom is that we built a really amazing team at Canonical. When a group of us went over to Xamarin, when we could, we pulled a bunch of them over to Xamarin.

And then when we started Axiom, we knew on day one what probably the first seven or ten at least hires would be, who they would be. When you work with people for that long, they start filling the holes that you have. And so everyone is great at something, but you're going to have things which you just have blind spots, et cetera, which other people can fill.

And so once you get that harmony, you want to carry that forward because it just makes working so much easier. And then the culture is also there, like that remote culture being around for over a decade and a half that we had been doing it by then. The trust for that self-motivation, that get up and go on. Hey, anything on the floor I can pick up. I don't need to have permission.
