Just like when Salesforce bought Pardot, it didn't kill Marketo and HubSpot because it's a different gravity well.
So now I think we're in a good position to be our own gravity well.
20.
Yeah, we care because as Mikita was saying, when we started the company, we wanted to make money, but not only to make money.
We wanted to, first, it's a journey.
We want to take the company public.
We have this beautiful journey where we have 220 people from different nationalities getting together, working together.
When we raised 33 million, we went to the board last year and we said we're going to take one million and create a foundation.
And the world say, one million, maybe it's too much.
No, it's not too much.
And we put a foundation for peace.
And so actually, we're very involved with the war in Ukraine because we have this $1 million to deploy helping
It was like we'd seen the writing on the wall.
The foundation is about nonviolence and promoting peace.
And right before the invasion, we had our Russian developers work with our Ukrainian developers.
We took a screenshot of them on Zoom.
And you say, do you really want these brothers to kill one another, right?
Like, it seems so crazy that this would happen.
Yeah, that's right, yeah.
So the answer to your question is we're enjoying the money, but we're on a mission and nothing's going to stop us.
