No, we've raised money in a very inelegant manner.
We've raised a little bit over five and a half million dollars in six different chunks over the years.

We started convertible, went price and did a convertible.
Yeah, it was cash we needed to get to profitability.
And we initially thought that we're going to be raising a bigger round.
But then about mid that last year, my business partner and I saw the cash crunch that was going to come on the financing environment tightening up.
And we decided that it would be smarter for us to drive to profitability.
And we did that.
Well, I'd rather not go into the specific numbers of that, but we're profitable and growing and generating cash.
I mean, we make about 50% margins total, and then obviously we have to cover expenses.
I mean, it's a highly leverageable business model because of what we do.
But yeah, we have 10 employees and we're generating cash when we're growing.

We have a large number of terms that are doing very well.
