You want to help people save money.
So by focusing on certain categories, we can control that a little bit more.
But we pay attention to it.
We're less focused on driving it up in the short term.
I had probably 3,000 buyers, about 1,500 sellers, something in that range.
Right.
Yeah.
So where are you at today?
We raised $1.8 million last summer and raised a little bit more money this spring.
It looks like we'll...
In total, it's going to end up being around $3 million today.
Well, I mean, I think most questions are fair.
You need to be able to defend your business.
The most challenging ones for us that we have to focus on are just really the market size and how big will this actually get.
We're creating almost a new, I mean, no one's doing this, right?
Like there's some brick and mortar models that have been pretty large.
eBay has this large sporting goods category, but a standalone sporting goods marketplace is really what we have to convince people that we truly believe that
there will be a sporting goods marketplace that this category is plenty big enough to support one, probably a billion dollar marketplace.
And we look at things like Poshmark in women's fashion or Reverb marketplace for music equipment, which are super fast growing marketplaces in their categories that are peer to peer and have a lot of similarities to what we're doing.
And so we look up to them, but also think, so that's the big sale of what we have to get people to believe with us.
