Did you do anything to prepare? We put together some document and then I wasn't even that familiar with data room ish. But yeah, like I found that support really helpful in terms of whenever I need anything or if I'm confused about stuff, I always send in an email. So I'm not sure about this or usually they'll also. You guys also send us an email to say, oh, can you make sure you put this document together? You can access this link to see some templates. Those template was always very helpful. And then the rest is just a matter of just using my own brain to add two plus two to try to figure out what we needed to prep in advance. And then some of the conversation we had earlier on like of course like helped the further conversation we had because then we know. Okay, this was expected. I only learn about loi through you guys. I've only ever got my first proper loi through you guys as well. So there's a lot of learning from that as well. Kudos to you guys for putting together a really, really good package that makes the process so super easy for founders like me.
