That's right.

I just got into it for the chicks, you know.

It's obviously where it's at.

So Expensify is pretty straightforward.

It's a mobile app for business travelers.

You take a picture of your receipts.

We read all the information off the receipt automatically, so there's no typing involved.

And then we'll submit it to your company for reimbursement.

And so we get you paid the very next day for the Starbucks purchase you made today.

Well, origin stories are always complicated.

And I would say, to summarize mine, initially, I had no interest in expense reports whatsoever.

I was doing something just completely different in the prepaid debit card space.

And the banks just had no interest in me.

They saw me as just way too risky.

And so I'm like, all right, I need to sound low risk.

I need to sound boring.

I'm like, what is the most boring thing I can think of?

I'm like, aha, expense reports.

So that's how I got into it.

It was as a Trojan horse to get permission for the banks to launch an entirely different product.
