We were like drinking from a fire hose. Yep. Over 2,000 people joined in like the first like 3 months. You know, we were overwhelmed and now we've really built this amazing community where over $8 million has been deployed to founders. We've just launched our new creator division where founders can work with creators on both sweat equity and investment deals, creating and enhancing their distribution as a founder. We also have private investing communities launching on our site. So I have my own private room where I do my exclusive deal flow. Yep, we're democratizing the investing landscape because there are so many good founders who maybe don't have a rich uncle, didn't go to Wharton, don't have the ins in Silicon Valley that deserve to get funding.
