Gary Guseinov

I was a co-founder.

I had a partner who helped start a company in 2003.

And why did you leave it?

I left the company because I...

Pursued our initiatives.

I needed to take a break.

I was heads down focused on this business, working crazy hours and taking a company public.

And if you've ever taken a company public, it takes a lot of out of you, a lot of energy out of you and needed a break.

I took a break for about six months and then I got involved in a bunch of new startups and I was helping a company in Silicon Valley, a virtual private networking company called Anchor Free.

I helped them go from 300 million users to 400 million users.

Grew revenues from zero to 20 million a year in about 18 months.

Very exciting.

And then I started Business Hangouts in 2016.

It's just a lot of process when it comes to legal and accounting.

You don't really comprehend that until you're in it.

You have to spend a lot of money.

We've spent probably close to half a million, two million dollars just getting the company ready to go public.

And so there's a lot of scrutiny.

There's a lot of oversight.

You have to have all your ducks in a row.
