And if you look through our feed, that's what a lot of this is.
And they tag their friends and that's how we grow our follow.
And just to get into the nuts and bolts a little bit, I think you have to...
get a base and like however you get your first couple thousand there's a lot of tricks for that but once you do it it shifts into this quality game of you can only do tricks for so long and then you have to build like a really solid content funnel in order to continue to scale what you're doing yep so brendan what's the walk me through kind of the goal here are you going to raise capital are you looking to sell the thing what's your goal
So we're in 500 startups now.
We're in the process of closing like three seed rounds.
For how much, you think?
We're raising about $1.5 million on a note.
No, it's just on a traditional convertible boat.
And so the goal, I mean, we look at companies like Poshmark in the women's fashion space, which is the marketplace, Reverb in the music space, and the verticalization of eBay and Craigslist of how people have cut out these big verticals and built these really strong community marketplaces.
No one's done it in sports, and that's our goal is to be the marketplace for athletes.
I think it's a $60 billion industry, and there's a ton of potential for what we could do here.
So in terms of an eventual exit, there's a bunch of ways we could go.
But right now, our goal is to just build the biggest marketplace possible.
Folks, breaking news, we've added two capuchin monkeys that can sit at a computer, write a cold email and close a deal better than most of your salespeople.
Number two, is there a CEO you're following or studying right now?
I spend a lot of time like networking and talking to CEOs, especially like who are series B or A, like a little bit ahead of me.
But in terms of like big picture, who I kind of follow, Kevin Plank at Under Armour.
Yep.
So our team is distributed.
