Pretty much all of it.
We are a young company who is not shy from anything.
We are trying to do everything which can get us a customer.
It's a bootstrapped company because the moment we started and within six months, the pandemic or nine months, I would say pandemic hit.
So I think that was a good idea.
We thought, let's build a product well in pandemic instead of raising money now.
I love that.
And by the time we're out of it, I think we were good operationally from a finance standpoint.
No, no.
So first of all, you know, there are other founders with me.
There are four, you know, other people on my leadership team.
But one more thing is we got acquired last month by Constellation Software, which is, you know, one of the eighth largest valuable software company in the globe through its portfolio company, Juniper Group.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I think I will also answer that question on his behalf that why he doesn't do a lot of interviews.
So when first time I saw the Constellation website, there was not even a photo of the founders.
Yeah.
to them and they said, we don't invest a dollar where there is no ROI.
So, you know, in headquarters sitting here, we are all, you know, spending all back to support the businesses we're acquiring and we're not spending any money on anything which is not, you know, so it's a very ROI and I would say the companies, you know, they acquire driven that.
So the second question, as an example, why I liked Constellation and why I had chosen to go ahead with them are two things.
One thing is they already have around 14 companies who are travel tech companies in their portfolio.
