San Francisco.

Everybody?

No, about half the team.

We have we originally in Minneapolis.

And so some of our team is there.

We have people in China who oversee our manufacturing.

And then we've hired engineers all over the world because we tend to hire out of our developer community.

And that means that we hire people in Norway, London, Michigan, Illinois, New York, all over.

Well, one part is we're not, you know, we're not a big enough target yet.

So these are a lot of problems that we will definitely want to solve over the long term.

In the short term, we will make sure that we trust these people.

So we actually did a program, an accelerator program called Hacks that's in Shenzhen.

So we lived in Shenzhen for four months.

So manufacturing relationships came from people that we got to know very well.

Will, who is the person on our team who runs our supply chain, he spent the following year in China working very closely with our manufacturing partners.

He personally hired all of the people that we have that are working full time.

So as a result, we have a very deep trust and relationship with the people that we work with over there.

And I've seen a lot of other startups get into cases where not that there's government intervention, but that they are working with untrustworthy parties.

So people who will hold their

you know, their intellectual property hostage.
