Without you having to involve too many lawyers.

And it's, you know, instead of it taking.

It's called a safe.

It's a simple agreement for future equity.

And there's a standard template on Y Combinator's website that everybody in technology uses.

And so you can go to an investor and they say, yes, I will put in $250,000 on a $10 million cap.

And it's quick and easy and you get the money the next week.

Or the next day.

So we raised like $750,000 on safes.

And then we went out to raise our proper seed round and we raised $4 million in that round.

And by that point we had like a prototype.

So it wasn't this, it was like, I'm very proud of how attractive this is.

Yeah.

What we had before this, the prototype was like this big and like the camera in the toilet was like massive and you, it wasn't waterproof.

So like, you know, one instance of batting was all over.

But it was enough to show that we could build hardware and the app worked and we had the whole experience.

We could kind of paint the vision of where this was headed.

Exactly.

But seeing is believing, right?

Yeah.
