0:23 question so one of the one of the main
0:25 questions are how long have you been in
0:27 business how are you funded do you have
0:29 any debt what's the future look like all
0:32 those kinds of things just to get some

1:17 Lehman are the majority shareholders we
1:19 have three outside
1:21 individuals who have joined our our

1:42 we are allowing the company to grow in a
1:45 manner in which the current cash flow
1:47 provides where we've not been striving
1:50 to just pour money into a sales funnel

2:07 when we've reached our capacity we've
2:09 turned down the onboardings just to to
2:12 grow in a controlled manner so far uh we
2:15 found that's worked very well for us one
2:18 of the other questions we get is uh what
2:20 does your Runway look like are you a lot
