So a lot of the scoping, a lot of what the software does today was being done manually and we didn't want to charge for it.

We were like, you know what, this is something I think we can offer for free to our customers.

But then as customers are now coming in, they're onboarding more projects.

So we're seeing an average of about eight to nine projects being onboarded onto the system rather than the one to two.

Now the goal is to essentially utilize more of the machine learning capabilities of the software.

Because it takes time.

That's the thing.

Like building ML software that actually works takes a lot of time because you really need to figure out your data structures from day one.

I think our goal is to essentially become an end-to-end platform.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Because at the end of the day, how we look at our company is that we look at the product being at the center and the core of just about everything that our customers have to do.

So if you place the product at the core, then hiring, analytics, API integrations, and as well as the talent that's assigned, a lot of that is a part of the whole product equation.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So because we look at it from that perspective, we believe that more and more enterprise companies are now going to start organizing their teams based on products.

And as they become more agile, their need for software development becomes more extensive.

How much have you given?

And so I think what we've seen is that what really differentiates us in terms of within the competitive landscape is the ability to not only do the scoping, but then also do scoping, talent placement, as well as the performance analytics in terms of how the developers are performing over time.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we do think that we're going to be partnering with other existing marketplaces where we can pull talent from.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But the goal is to provide that end-to-end platform because that's really where

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

where we've seen the need so that the PM doesn't need to go.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We're not looking at TopTal.

We're more like looking at Upwork.
