Were here in 2017.
Yeah.
Yes. You weren't even called Monday back then, were you?
Yeah, we were. Let me tell you a story about that. So I went to my first sester in 2017.
We are in for a treat today.
I think it was February 2017.
Dead of winter.
It was in the city. And when you registered, you had like a pin or a badge that said, how much ARR do you have?
Oh, yeah, we do have those.
So there was like $5 million. There are 1 million, 10 million. And I remember, I think we had seven back then. Yeah, it was six years ago.
