Cal is essentially the solution to all of our problems with Calendly and any of the existing solutions out there.

The point is, I used to use Calendly.

I did try SavvyCal.

They're great products.

They are genuinely good products, but the

point is is you know scheduling is scheduling is like email it's one of those core foundational things that runs businesses runs the web um and the point is is that means that people from time to time have like complex use cases and things like that like telehealth or hiring marketplaces or you know anything that you can think of where scheduling takes part in um calendly and savvy how just don't really sort of fit all of their requirements i mean they're good

products like if I just want to book one-to-one sales calls with me you know just a basic zoom setup that's great but the point is is you know if you're running a massive hiring marketplace and want to be you know integrating this fully into your platform you know have it completely white label push across 300 users it doesn't really scale well so this was literally a

found that had had and it was literally just started as a side project but then we found that people actually really really liked this when did you guys write the first line of code oh so that that's a difficult i think i think i wrote the first line of coding like february it was so like i still had a nine to five job february of 2021 yeah 2021 and what was your nine to five bailey

So I worked at like a backup and disaster recovery company.

I was doing some like small in-house software engineering, like customer portals.

Last year I was 17.

17.

I'm 18 as of today.

Yeah, literally around around the time that we, you know, officially incorporated, what then was Colenso and it's now cow.com.

That was just sort of around the age of becoming 18.

Well, interestingly, so it was my co-founder peer that had the initial idea of this.

He basically sort of specced out what he thought, you know, could be a more extensible and open source scheduling solution.

And then he published a website out there, just basic with like a wait list, just kind of explaining the idea.

And then it was right around that time where his company actually got bought out by On Deck.

And he moved into a role of head of product at On Deck.
