And I'll start by saying, I think I'm still, I still have very much an advocate for bootstrap as long as you can until you get product market fit through, through getting product market fit after your product market fit, raise capital and efficient means when you know, unit economics and you can spend capital and in sustainable ways.
I think so.
It's still as, as, you know, as ridiculous amount of money that we have raised a half a billion dollars,
We still very much focus on doing it in a sustainable way where we have a net positive impact after spending every single dollar.
And so to answer your question, of course, marketing and paid acquisition is a big piece of growth, particularly in a very competitive category.
We have to out-market and out-maneuver our competitors.
But product and innovation and R&D always has to be top of mind as well.
At the end of the day, the only defensibility that we have is moving faster than our competitors and building a better product and a better user experience than they can as well.
So acquisitions will certainly be on our radar in the very near future, as is scaling globally.
We're opening offices around the world.
being able to localize our product in several different languages as well.
Yeah, we have just shy over 800 employees today.
And on the engineering side, about 100 engineers.
Yeah, we say one app to replace them all.
That's the familiar messaging that we place.
But the reality is, you know, we're not trying to replace every single application.
We do think that we can put all of your workplace productivity software in one place.
And that is ultimately our true mission.
And outside of that, we play very nicely with every other integration on the market.
And so we built our platform in a scalable way where we can build integrations very quickly.
