Absolutely, Nathan.

Thanks for having me.

Sure.

As you mentioned, it's an invitation-only group that really provides a trusted space that highly successful entrepreneurs that are real and out there and doing it every day can connect with one another and best-of-breed services that we can help them to grow their businesses.

So to date, we've had roughly around 16,000 people attempt to join the organization, and we've accepted just over 1,600 as of today.

Absolutely.

Sure.

So, you know, the best thing to, I guess, answer that is we're looking first and foremost for somebody that has a real business.

You know, we certainly are here to mentor up and coming young entrepreneurs or people that want to start a business, but this is not a sort of entrepreneur group.

First and foremost, it's assessing their business

how large it is, how the growth looks, what the revenues are, or financing behind the businesses, who's financing or supporting the business.

And then ultimately, a member vote is put together once they pass the first round check.

So a committee of members actually decides yay or nay.

So it's a very vetted democracy, if you will, to ensure fairness and also to ensure that there's the idea that

everybody went through the same process and that helps to form the bonds and the trust, uh, especially when the first aspects of the community process are really virtual versus high touch.

And then obviously once you're in, uh, the connectivity really becomes much more human, uh, you know, beyond the application process.

Uh, so we don't disclose what those, those fees are.

What I'll say is they're, you know, ultimately reasonable annual fees.

Uh, you know, it's,

Like any other organization, we found that having somebody pay member dues means they're committed to the group.
