Let's do it, Nathan.
Thanks for having me.
We are out in Knoxville.
We are here because my wife is a professor.
So we moved from California to Washington, D.C., and then to Knoxville.
And thankfully, I couldn't have asked for a better place to start a company.
So ARR, about six and a half million.
And then as far as company size, we've got 55 total employees between Knoxville, where we have about 35, and Irvine, California, with my co-founder, Ryan Huff, who runs engineering.
And there's 20 people out there.
So annual recurring revenue.
Yeah.
So we, in 2011, launched the first integration of Salesforce, which is the famous customer relationship management platform in the cloud, and Gmail.
More and more companies were moving to Google Apps.
And so we provide a Chrome extension that brings the Salesforce experience, leads, contacts, opportunities, cases, activities into Gmail, which is where all of us as salespeople work.
And we now do it for Outlook as well.
It was really built for ourselves.
We found ourselves constantly switching back and forth between Gmail, where we did email, and Salesforce, where we tried to keep track of customer relationships and run pipeline reports and forecasts.
And we didn't want to spend all day jumping between two browser windows.
So we decided, let's bring Salesforce into Gmail, where we were actually talking with customers, and then be able to update it from there.
Yeah.
