So, you know, it was founded in 2017.

Just talk a little bit maybe about the founding history of the company, why it was founded.

And then we'll start to go through the last few years. I mean, honestly, it's only four years old, right? But it's done so much. But just give us a little bit of an idea about who founded it and why the founding happened. Yeah. So it was founded by three people, hence the Lab 3 side of things. Beautiful. There you go. Chris.

Yeah, very, very lots of synergy there with the name, which is good.

And it was founded by Chris Cook, Andy Lyons, and Bob Cook. And they're three veterans of, you know, executive leadership and IT consulting with long

and illustrious careers through

both IBM and a couple of other industries as well and companies.
