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.

I don't need to talk about it. I don't need to do those kinds of things. And so it actually helps on the hiring side as well, because. as people go through and new people want to join this group, you're looking at them with those eyes and you're like, hey, whether you're a junior, whether you're senior, do you have those same elements inside of you? And are you going to help make that team better?

Are you going to fill more gaps that we have in ability, et cetera, and also share and learn and all the things that we've been doing just naturally over this much time?

Definitely built to scale and scaling in mind. So what I'd say is our data store, it's not one binary thing. It's pieces. And we've put those pieces together inside of a cloud. And that's really the way we always thought about building Axiom, where the ingest can be isolated here, storage can be isolated here, search can be isolated, etc.,

We looked at it at the time and when we were whiteboarding stuff, we had to kind of circle things away and say, this is okay to deal with when we have users. And then there was other parts which were very clear where if we don't deal with this well now, it's just going to be painful for every X terabytes we would have extra. Like we can see that is such a clear pain point that's going to happen.

And so on our side, we tried to plan it in that way, which was this was OK to scale later, maybe because you can just throw machines at it initially and you don't need to worry as much. Or maybe it's just going to be a problem and we have to defer it for a while until someone's actually using it in angle, right? Instead of just us theoretically thinking people use it.
