No, Lars was the head of business development at Criticism.

Did you bring the data scientist with you, or no?

I did not.

Come on, Paul!

Well, you know, you kind of...

People that you would hire later stage are different from people that you need to start a startup.

It is.

Yeah.

It's a, it's a SaaS company.

We, uh, we sell to enterprises.

Uh, it's a subscription and, uh, people will either prepay for one year or two years.

It's between five fingers, moving up to six fingers, uh, to a six figures now.

So what you get for that is a single dashboard whereby your, your, your data teams, the ones that are, that are, that are, that are building out your data lake infrastructure that your data scientists plug into, you'll get a single view of,

into all the apps that are connected all the users that are running queries the way that data flows through that system and a very very easy and quick ability to a figure out is everybody having a good experience are apps working is the data lake working or if not why and what's the root cause of that so that you can very quickly pinpoint where data is getting stuck interesting okay very good and uh put this on a timeline for us so what was the official year you launched

So we launched at the end of 2016.

And one of the interesting things Nathan is that we got to revenue, our first dollar of revenue came only six months after we wrote the first line of code for the business.

Right.

So we now have over 25 customers.

We're still a seed stage company, Nathan, so we're still quite small.

So the way that I define that is we're still, you know, we have a lot of revenue.
