So today, we're only 30.
We just opened an office.
Of course, there's no real office because of COVID.
We just opened in Bangkok.
We just opened in Paris.
We're in London, New York, and LA.
Right now, 10 of the 30 are engineers, and we just stole away the CTO from a competitor.
Which competitor?
A company called Spirable, and I needed another very muscular executive in addition to our CTO.
He had built their entire stack.
He had built them from the ground up.
How did you recruit him?
Or her?
Neither.
So the answer is he makes a little bit more pay, but nothing that would be meaningful to anyone.
He owns less of our company than he does of their company.
We just had a product that was more compelling that he thought stood a chance.
to be more successful even than their terrific product.
So he decided to roll the dice and, uh, and, uh, and maybe he thought I was congrats on that.
All right.
