um uh i've parla my my my startup is primarily bootstrap we did a small crowdfunding round last year uh we're actually in the middle of a more formal round at the moment so clearly i'm going to try and pick your brains as to how you've raised so much and how how well you've done so yeah tell us about that journey

yeah i actually saw you did the crowd fundraising last year so i thought that was a nice idea for like a consumer product um So with us, um, yeah, you learn a lot each time you go to, to, to fundraise.

So I find accelerator programs when you're at the very early stages of your career, um, can be great because normally they give you, um, some like cash to get started.

They're very reasonable terms and it's a good way to help you put structure on everything.

Um, and so like say more recently we got a hundred K from, uh, the NDRC, which is an Irish accelerator program.

great mentorship on it and um but we obviously knew that's only 100k like we need more money to really grow and run at this business so we um So then we kind of looked at, okay, we want to run an investor fundraising process.

And like it is, running a process is a process.

what are your thoughts on that whole dynamic i'm sure it's something you've given thought to
