And then 2020, it clicks.
We go from 25 million to 100 million by the end of the year.
We go from, you know, we're not totally explicit about the revenue numbers, but more than 300 million at this point already.

uh well i think it's fair to say we've we've achieved product market fit um it took uh we're almost six years old the end of uh 2021 will be a six-year-old company and the first four years were excruciating i cringe sometimes when i meet people today and they they meet us today and they think oh this is easy you guys are killing it and the reality is like well you should have met us in 2018.
