In 2010, I merged server software with a Japanese company to form what's now called Key Corporation.

It's around, it's thriving, and it's big in the IoT space.

Yes, so the capital was originally provided from that company.

That was the fund for Strive Capital.

It was initially from Key and also sold my own shareholdings in that company later in the secondary.

So those were additional funds on top of the first exit I had back in Germany in 2002.

Wow, that's a question.

Say plus or minus.

29 and some letters, A, B, C, D, I have lost count.

Yeah, so when I set out to start Hornet back in 2011, I looked for people who could help me get this off the ground and Sean immediately jumped on the idea and I was happy to get him on board.

He basically focused on marketing and helped me to build the company over the years.

In 2013, he came on board full time.

I ran the company part time on the side of Stripe Capital.

And eventually the project just became too big and too much traction.

So he joined full time and took over the CEO leadership.

And last July, we said, hey, let's take this to the next level.

And Sean asked me to come back, take the leadership helm again.

And we are now still running it together.

He in the role of president and again, heading up marketing sales while I'm heading up the overall business strategy as CEO.

Correct.
