We released a couple small product releases from the end of 2014 into early 2015.

And then the last couple quarters have really been the beginning of our growth phase.

We've added about 55 or so thousand new users in the last quarter.

quarter and a half, two quarters.

And I think we've really found a growth model that we can replicate.

And so at this point, our big focus is just building a great product, continuing to enhance the user experience and really make it more relevant, more personalized.

make the content creation and consumption more dynamic.

I think that's, you know, where our, you know, kind of where our focus is, you know, in terms of product.

And then, you know, on the on the growth side, we just want to, you know, pour fuel on the fire, you know, with regard to what we're doing to build our community.

Sure.

Sure.

Uh, so we were, you know, we were founded in based in, in Cleveland, you know, which I want to make sure I mentioned.

And, and, um, we raised a couple of angel rounds on financing when we originally started it and then we, we bootstrapped it, but then we went, went out and raised a little bit of convertible debt and a small equity around.

So overall, we've raised a little over $700,000 between some notes and some equity.

And then now we're in 500 startups, batch 16 here in San Francisco.

So that comes with a small investment as well.

I will say, and I think this is probably...

something that gets lost with a lot of folks.

We don't take very large salaries by any means.

About $30,000 a year.
