This is a YouTube video titled "Navigating Legacy Accounts and International Acquisitions" containing a discussion between two speakers about challenges related to managing old accounts and complexities in cross-border acquisitions, particularly involving Stripe account transfers between Canadian and American entities. The conversation took place around March 27, 2024.

There are, you start to realize just how many accounts there were that you set up eight years ago for email notifications and all this other stuff, and then maybe you're on some super legacy aws account from 2009. It went pretty well. I think the biggest snag was maybe because I was Canadian, getting acquired by American companies, we couldn't just transfer the stripe account because it's like, set as a Canadian entity type thing. So we had to actually, like, switch over stripe keys and stuff, which wasn't as seamless, but for the most part, it. It went all right. Yeah, no big issues there.
Nice. Yeah. Due diligence is, is. It can be. It can test you as an entrepreneur. You know, it can. It can go on for months. It can go on for, for weeks, depending on. On the buyer. But and then also the complexity.
