Yes, I am.
No, back then we were doing about 80 and we sell upfront on average for about $4,500.
So we build neighborhood focused websites for real estate agents and we sell the entire package upfront for around on average $4,500 for the whole year.
We've never raised money.
Okay, so we build neighborhood websites and we have a technology that aggregates the local content.
So the events, the deals, the news, and we sell the exclusive rights to those neighborhood sites to one real estate agent per neighborhood.
Then we teach them how to use that neighborhood website in order to go out into the community, interview local businesses, teachers, professionals, and feature their articles on that neighborhood site.
So they're adding a ton of value to the community and they're also building lots of relationships as they go.
So they can become a connector in the community.
They'll know the plumber, they'll know the roofer, they can connect everyone with their clients.
Today we have about over 1,000.
Yeah.
So when we got back from 500 startups, so last time we spoke, I was actually in Silicon Valley.
And we got back from there.
They pushed us to take their money.
So we took their $125,000 and they made us go and invest in growth.
Because I remember last time we spoke, when we invest money, we make it back very quickly, almost instantly.
So we took that money.
We invested a ton on Facebook advertising, taught myself how to do a lot of digital marketing.
And we use one of the companies that was on here as well at Espresso.
