And we were panicking because we actually had an investment that year to grow the sales team in Israel.

And sales team in Israel takes high salaries, in a way closer to the US salaries, not the European ones.

And some people were drafted to the army.

And there was the ongoing war in Ukraine where our R&D stays.

So we were panicking in a way, but eventually everything went well.

So that's probably less than three hundred thousand dollars.

The first decision we made is even before that happens, we stopped all the salaries to both of the founders.

I know that's nothing with given our salaries.

We're very modest and I had the salary lower than our developers actually, but this is the first action.

And that kind of, you know, it's like enables your built-in mechanism of survival because you know that, okay, they may have no salary in two months, but we do not have it already today.

So it's time to act.

Yeah, I'm married.

I have two beautiful kids, six and seven years old, son and daughter.

In New York.

I'm a listener from Ukraine, Odessa, Ukraine, beautiful sea on the seashore of the Black Sea.

And right now I'm pursuing my future in New York.

I'm doing the detox from the social network.

So the best one is the board on LinkedIn.

Other than that, on the speedsize.com with the blog where I occasionally do some articles.

Thank you.
