These are, now these are, I want to be clear.

These are good problems to have still problems, but they are still problems.

And so, um, because, uh, as the round starts to come together, we, we don't just have sufficient investor interest.

We really have too much investor interest from our insiders.

And outside capital.

Versus like Apex Predators.

I mean that, you know, I mean that with all professional courtesy.

That's right.

And we've had some investors that deliberately put in a smaller amount in earlier rounds because they wanted to be able to invest more in later rounds.

and have been in the interim have been extremely helpful.

And we really wanted to reward those folks.

I mean, we wanted those folks to like... Absolutely.

And so it was really important.

But, like, we don't... I mean, let's say we don't control it.

But, like, at some level...

we are trying to, we're trying to negotiate a kind of a compromise because there is more interest that can really fit.

And then everyone's like, well, why don't you just, can't you guys just raise more?

So Steve, why don't we raise, which we definitely heard plenty, especially as we're trying to get everything to fit.

Like, why don't you guys just raise, just raise more?

It's like- Which again is, why don't you sell more of the company?
