Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

It's also an investment in culture, right?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

You have to do things that maybe from some viewpoints might seem as if they're drag-inducing rather than lift-inducing because it slows you down.

But in the end, we've looked at the compliance thing and said, this is a key market unlock for us.

And at this point in our journey, that vision, again, which I credit to the rest of the team, has very much been realized.

It is something that because we have already met so many of those requirements for enterprise buyers, for our channel partners who are moving our technology to market, as we look to expand to international markets, us being able to have all those pieces in place already has greatly enhanced and facilitated our ability to scale.

What are we hearing from customers?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

I think in this market, in the AI stock space where there's just a ton of noise, customer success is a big thing.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 E11: Brian Carbaugh, Andesite

And we're a team of people who listen to what our customers are saying.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 E11: Brian Carbaugh, Andesite

That's also helped, I think, for us kind of factor into our ability to scale and maybe not as many of the potholes is what you might expect.

For that Noah, I'd say I'm most proud of the team that we built and more to the point, the culture that the team has now for quite some time been really on their own helping to further instill, to advance and to share across the company.
