Are you available to walk me through how this works tomorrow?
And then hopefully the next one is, Hey, we want to sign up.
And then we go from dozens of clients to hundreds to thousands.
No, we're talking about literally a couple, two.
Two million in 2017, half of that in 2016, half of that in 2015.
And I'm hoping that we'll do more than double 2017's revenue in 2018.
We already have most of 2017's revenue already booked.
100% the last couple of years in a row.
Raised $10 million from smart industry leaders and myself.
Well, I don't have that much capital.
I was the former president of Warner Brothers Television Distribution and spent 20 some odd years there and did quite well, but needed more money than I had in case I was wrong so that my children could still go to college.
And my wife and I could still go to dinner.
So, you know, I put in about two million bucks and we raised another eight million from some terrific, smart, well-known executives from around the U.S.
So that's not really what happened.
I sat down with a stranger who's one of the leading entertainment lawyers in the world who turned to me and said, Eric, I may be the lawyer, too.
And I could name 15 huge executives and celebrities that you and all your listeners would be familiar with.
He said, but you know what I really like to do, Eric?
I really like to invest in cool new businesses with people like you.
And he said, I'm in other friends and other friends and other friends.
The next thing we know, we attack.
