Fundraise.

So it was some combination of inbound VC interest and me thinking that I was this was the point.

The the thing for us was our product was designed to be an API because we want to be a web player and we want to be horizontal.

So we can't go solve problems that require deep, intimate understanding of a specific agent anywhere.

Right.

So now almost by definition, if you want to be horizontal and on the web, your product is an API.

So we took that for granted because that's what got us excited about this in the first place.

Now, if your product is an API, you don't get to

innovate constantly on the surface of the API.

Once you take on a large number of customers.

So we uh I got advice from Patrick Collison early that like if your product is an API.

before you give it out and have a lot of people rely on it.

Better have confidence in the API shape and the surface because it's you'll have to maintain it for a long, long, long time.

So when we initially started, we had a rule that we will only have

Small number of customers who are very, very close partners.

Wherein we have a Slack where we feel comfortable and they feel
