Then we raised about $2 million to grow a $10 million business.
So you have to look at it as, yeah, we did equal or better than everybody else and they went out of business and everybody lost their money.
In our case, we didn't go out of business and it was a restart with virtually no capital.
So we've proven we're last man standing to their value.
In order for the capital value to go up, we also have to show growth.
The other people who show growth do it by spending tens of millions of dollars to grow 10 million a year.
In other words, their sales and marketing budgets tend to be bigger than their revenue.
We can't do that because we have to fund ourselves.
So we are slowly, like the tortoise and the hare, doing things that we believe will eventually show significant growth and turn it around.

We have hundreds of employees in the company.
We have all our clients who are doing things.
We've revolutionized and pioneered much of what has become the industry.
