So half the company is based in Palo Alto, and then half the company is based in Tel Aviv.

pool of engineers out in Israel.

sales and marketing and product out in the valley and engineering and UX out in Israel.

708: $35M Raised to Tell IT Departments What Alerts Are Important

It's probably about half-half.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
708: $35M Raised to Tell IT Departments What Alerts Are Important
