You guys have all also raised over a hundred million. So, what has been through the the journey of going through the cycles, also being a first-time founder to like like going through all of those motions to raise that money and the different cycles that you guys had to go through? Sure. So, I combined this one thing that I could learn during the journey. So, everything you didn't do, it's very hard. Everything you did, very easy. Now, I can tell you very easy, A round, B round, very easy. I can tell you the day before, it's not easy at all. Even though it looks from the outside, yeah, for sure they raised a lot of money. It was easy for them, great investors. I can tell you every time you need to prove yourself. At the beginning, you need to prove the team, you need to prove the problem, you need to prove the ability to solve it. That was the first. And always I'm looking to work with

the best people. Employees, colleagues, founders, investors. After that, you say, "Wow, seed easy. What about the A? Okay, A round is something very very different." And it is. And again, now they ask you much more question about, "Hey, why did you do that? How are you planning to do that? What about the growth? What about the pace?" And you need to prove again from the beginning that you are the right team, the right company to do it. So, that's the the next one. After that, the B round. Pretty much the same. Now, they they speak about numbers, and they are going to speak with customers. You know, when when you when you do that the seed round, it's you say, "Okay, no problem. It's about the team." But when you do the B round, when you run after the B round, "Hey, let's speak with customers. Let's understand why they love you. Why they want to keep to keep work with you." And so on. So,

every time big challenge, very different. And you need to prepare yourself to a deep very different story, very different parameters.
