Like every company, every CX leader out there needs to have an answer for, you know, what is their perspective?
What have they done?
What have they accomplished with AI?
So there is a, you know, there's a huge amount of interest in AI.
doing this and doing it successfully and we certainly think that we have the right solution for companies in these industries so you know time will tell you and i can can circle back when we cross the 50 million mark but uh yeah we're going we're growing quickly and and having fun along the way let's get more drilling me on the financials here nathan

Ultimately, I think the purpose of a B2B app is to deliver measurable value for your customers.

So as I touched on at the start, Sam and I met way back freshman year of college, started our entrepreneurial journey, went through Cornell's eLab Accelerator program, which
you know, is one of those things we wouldn't be here without that experience.
Launched that ride sharing app, did it at Cornell, Syracuse, Binghamton, Oneonta, all of the big schools across upstate New York.

uh and going from a point where we were working with a you know small operator in ithaca new york to working with all of the largest transportation operators across the globe at that point turned around and and raised our first significant round of funding which was an eight and a half million dollar round and what year uh this was 2021 end of 21 early 22. and the idea was we had just taken our first step into retail
So we had taken this technology, we had packaged it into a product, we had built a business that was working really well, right?
