How has it been the journey of going through the motions of raising all that money and then also taking the company public? >> When I realized that I had to raise hundred of million euros, I say look, I will do exactly the same way as I as as I as I acquired uh this drilling company to VC. will go with not only agility but also a lot of well it's a good mindset a lot of odas uh in order to well to to to to find a good people and by luck because you know when you are entrepreneur all the people that you meet you do some connection and people are doing connection for you someday and and I was not expecting it I met a guy who told me look uh we are we have created a spark uh you know which was uh at the time it was a there was a lot of spack today it's a bit today it's a bit it's a bit different but at the time this transition spark uh was looking for target and we found each other I
mean I realized that it was a perfect vehicle for me to go IPO uh and this pack for for him we for these people we were the perfect target in term of size in term of story, in term of storytelling, in term of future. So basically we got married. So it's always a question of meeting the good people having face uh making the good connection and honestly one year before the desk packing if somebody told me uh look you will be able to raise on this project 200 million euros of course it would have been hard to believe. So again it's a question of be resilient being resilient uh having faith in your model having faith in yourself and after you meet the good people at the right moment. This is basically all the story of the of the all entrepreneurs >> talking about resilience um you know because when you're raising money um as well you you you're going to face rejection. There's going to
be people that are going to like what you're doing, other peoples that are not going to like what you're doing. And that's totally fine.
