All right. We are live. Uh, what's going on, man? How are you? What's going on, gentlemen? So we have uh Patrick Campbell. W the company was Profit Well? Yeah, so starting to originally it was the world.

It was something else. For first, right? Yeah. We called it price intelligently. So we did a little piece of pricing software morphed into pricing software and service. Um a lot of service actually and then started building this metric stool and all that kind of fun stuff. And then recently sold the paddle, which is a payments infrastructure product, if that makes sense. And the headline The headline price was two hundred million dollars and you bootstrapped the company and I think in a tweet you said you owned I don't know if it was you and your co founder or company owned, but like you guys owned almost all of it, right?

Yeah, we were boost trap, so we owned a hundred percent of it. Um and so we uh yeah, but we were pretty generous. I think I tweeted about the the fact that we were pretty generous about giving out equity, so it wasn't like I had a hundred percent. Um we had I think the headline number is we had thirteen millionaires, we had like thirty, thirty five people made six K or more, and then Think there's like a hundred and twenty people all in, people who had worked at the company previously and the current employees who got some sort of consideration out of the deal. So can I share those? I think that It was two. Uh it was over two hundred technically, like we're not public. I I don't know, it's so weird about these numbers. It's like what are you public with? What are you not? And I have a board and a boss now, so I have to have to be a little careful. Not that careful, but a little careful about all the things I say.
