What has your experience been like working with me as an investor from kind of like the point that you met me and Behind Genius till now?
I mean, in the beginning was like typical conversation, like, yeah, I'm gonna talk to an investor. I'm gonna try to pitch her like the best way possible. But it, like the minute I met you, it was completely the opposite. It was like we just started talking and you asked all your questions. Yeah. That you needed to ask anyway. But instead of like pitching you with a pitch deck, it was like talking with a friend or something like that, like for the first time. And then after you invested for us, it has been a matter of like, hey Paige, can you help us with customer feedback, for example? Or may you help us get a better email campaign built? So it's a matter of like a relationship with somebody you know that's working with you.
