Um so it's but like we just everybody was like, we need different roles for everybody and and so um so we we launched this thing and um and it it didn't like take off, but uh
it you know, five people signed up the first week or something.
And then like twenty people signed up the next week.
And and I started talking to some of the users and um and it was the first time after like five or six years of doing web software, wet web applications and and web projects, it was the first time like I would actually like talk to the human on the other end.
I'd launched shitty stuff before, um, where you you just see traffic and and people are clicking things.
And clicking an ad, and you're like, cool.
This is the first time like users, I I would like to interact with them and they would be like, I like this, I don't like this.
And I was like, Wow, this is maybe what it feels like to launch a real company.
Like people have feedback, they ran into a bug, they will they have new feature ideas and and they like for some reason they trust that this is a real thing.
Like, I don't know how this is happening.
I'm just here in class on my BlackBerry responding to their email.
They think we're a company.
Like, like this is shocking.
And um
And so that that happened.
We we actually spent the the whole summer working on the company full time from Seattle.
And um uh and and it just grew a little bit more and more and we raised a little bit of angel investment and then
Yeah, Mark Cuban was was sort of second uh uh part of this, but we raised eighty thousand dollars for a post money of uh I believe this is the post money, it was either two forty or three twenty, but the post money was either two hundred and forty K or three hundred twenty K.
We raised eighty eighty.
Is that brand still open?
