HostThat's amazing. This is an- another classic startup concept, which is do things that don't scale, right? Go above and beyond for specific customers, especially in those early days. But what I want to see now is let's look at some of the numbers. Obviously, you only did about $100 in the first 30 days. How much revenue did you do in the second 30 days?

A lot of the stuff that you did in that first 30 days, that spray and pray where you just were like, "Okay, let me figure out X, Reddit," and then you cracked LinkedIn, but those are the learnings that led to the dollars. So, for anyone who's watching this right now who wants to build their own business, and it's not happening in that first 30 days, well, here is the perfect example of your reason to keep going. So, the last question that I want to ask you is, …

GaurabhIf I have to look back at the last 60 days, here are the four things that I learned. The first one was to live the problem you're solving. If it's something that, you know, is outside of you, it's really hard to understand, uh, the sentiments of your customer and understand what is it that's going to make them buy, like, what are the pain points? The second one was around start where you already have a network. I tried a lot of different social …
