So if the founding team is John and me, that's correct, although John is a data scientist.

But this is a founding group that came from our previous company involving strong engineering that came with us through GameSparks and AWS.

Well, it depends exactly.

I consider them to be part of the founding team.

I don't know exactly what language you want to use.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But yes, so we're a tight team.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Okay, to answer your question, there are two founders.

both called Griffin, neither of us code or you wouldn't want us to be, but we built a team of people we'd worked closely with in the past and very high quality engineering was involved from inception with the company.

Again, forgive me if I don't disclose that because that's sort of commercially sensitive information.

But again, to give you some direction, we have a sales-led motion.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And that means that we need to earn...

a significant amount from our customers for the unit economics of our business to work, and they do.

So yes, the amounts our customers pay us are reasonably high, and that is nicely consistent with the amount of value we deliver to them because it's transformative for them.

So I'm not going to comment on valuations or revenue, but I can say that we've been very fortunate and that we've got a lot of runway.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And that provides us with a lot of flexibility.

I mean, in terms of the potentially dilutive impact,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I still think that we were incredibly fortunate to found the company when we did because those favorable fundraising conditions allowed us to raise a lot of funding and that was needed because we were building critical infrastructure, like I said.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And now I'm focused on the long term.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Like we're trying to build a really big company.
