So in 2020, so what happened, it's a funny story.

In 2019, no, 2018,

social capital came to us and they understood, they said we're lucky, and they gave us a term sheet to put 2 million and 20 million pre.

And then as luck would have it, social capital imploded.

You guys remember social capital?

We meet everybody, we have the term sheet, we add the lawyer fee, and then the guy decided to dissolve the venture firm.

As you can tell, my life has been a bit of an adventure.

So now we have no capital, social or not, zero.

So we continue.

And then COVID happens.

And then when COVID happens, then I freaked out because I had seen the movie before where, you know, you have to think of this company in 2000 where we're 65 people, we're doing great.

And then everything collapsed.

I'm thinking the same thing is going to happen again.

Everything is going to shut down.

I'm going to lose my company.

So I took a payroll protection program loan, 350.

thousand dollars and we held tight.

And as many of you have experienced, some things went down, like we lost a few customers, but others came to us and said, we need to book more meetings and online and things.

So we continue growing.

And then all of a sudden, VCs came to us.
