Yeah.
So, um, well, we're, we're lucky that, you know, my, my, my partner and I, we, um, we, we've kind of started some other, some other, uh, some businesses in the past that, um, are kind of, we, we live very, very lean in Maine.
Oh, of very, very cheap.
I'd say less, around $2,000, $2,500 a month.
I love that.
Are you single, married?
Do you have kids?
I'm married and I had no kids, but my partner, my co-founder, Nick, he lived through the first big dot-com bust in 99.
He was an employee there.
They had the pool tables, the arcade machines, and everybody walked in one day and everything was gone.
So he's taught me that you've got to stay lean and mean, build tools that users love, and the growth and the revenue will come.
Absolutely.
And then the great thing about working in kind of the Internet space now is how cheap it is to to do hosting and to kind of build out like a database.
Like we're sometimes there's some days where we were collecting about 50 to 100000 answers per minute.
Ten years ago, that would have cost us several million dollars a day just to host all that data.
Sure.
Where now it's like Amazon Web Services is very, very cheap.
It is, yes.
We get about a 10% to 12% sign-up rate.
Got it.
