[00:00:00]I'm curious about your experience and kind of your overall thoughts about raising capital because I feel like it's one of those things, like I know when I was in business school, they you know, really wanted to coach us up about what what's good, what's bad, how do you do this, how do you pitch?

[00:00:16]It's not always the most sexy thing to do in terms of, you know, reporting once you've received the money and KPIs and all of that. Um What do you like when is a good time in your mind to raise capital and when do you know it's worth giving up equity?

[00:00:32]Just, you know, for any founder out there that's like thinking like am I supposed to be looking at some backing or maybe try and retain everything? Like where when do you have that trigger saying, "Okay, I need to go out and get funds."

[00:00:45]>> So, I think it I think it's different for every person and every situation.

[00:00:48]Also, the type of company that you have, right? And so, that's where friends and family or self-investing or or organic growth or getting traditional or traditional debt or lines of credit are more appropriate for those type of businesses. Could be, you know, a barber shop or a contractor, right? Think industries like tech and and and bio and stuff like that require, in many instances, sometimes venture capital.
