We're

continuing to build.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

It's a good question.

I mean, I think, I think there's a few things that I would emphasize, which is like the dilution, not like, don't, don't feel like you have to give up more of your company, but know that investors are going to be, are expecting, you know, these metrics like, you know, the billion dollars in two to three years that, that some of those things are sort of hanging over your, over your head.

So speed to market is,

And, you know, focusing on revenues is very, very important.

Or focusing, I should say, on ARR is a better way of describing it.

Those are, you know, understanding that there are so many things at work right now in the market, some of which are...

to the benefit of a founder, like you can be a solo founder, you know, don't feel like you have to give up more of your company than you feel comfortable doing, but also know the expectations are that you're going to be generating ARR at a pretty unprecedented rate.

Right.

So it's a really, it's an, it's a really, really interesting time to be a founder.

And I'm glad there are so many insanely smart founders out there doing it.

It depends on the company.

Yeah, it does depend on the company, how they're reporting.

And there's actually been a lot of reporting on reporting.

How these companies are choosing to report is...

They're private companies and they oftentimes will footnote the way that they're calculating these things.

Broadly speaking.
