Well, Talify is an app on the cloud, and basically you sign up to it, and the way we make money is that we charge per user per month, 49 bucks per user per month, and it helps people automate paperwork, right?

So you might not realize this, but 30% of the average day is spent doing routine processes.

And I'm talking about stuff where you fill a form out, you email it to someone, you wait for the reply, they haven't replied, you have to follow up, you follow up again, and so on and so forth.

It's this painful, massive, huge pain of approvals and paperwork and so on.

We kind of break anything down into a checklist.

Well, it was something about two years ago.

We got a grant from the government of Chile.

So we spent eight months in Santiago, Chile.

That was equity free.

That was $40,000.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try something out.

They don't ask for anything.

They just give you money.

And so check it out.

And then we came back to London.

And then we got another grant from the U.S.

in this case, from St.

Louis, a program called Arch Grants.

It's one of the only grant programs in the U.S.

You get 50K.
