there's no app of its kind because the beauty of owl is if you are an expert and you set this little timer mechanism that says you're available it actually pings all of your followers immediately at your price level so no if you're driving in the car too the other direction and you have a two three hour drive imagine Just say, Hey, I'll be available.
You call me about anything for a dollar and just open up to your audience and say, give me a ring. And we all know, you know, business is about building relationships. The more people that call you, the more opportunities will come from these calls. I started this podcast called the shrimp tank. It was done in collaboration with the FAU Adam center for entrepreneurship.

We started interviewing the best price entrepreneurs. They had to have a million dollars plus a revenue. And before you know it, I got to a hundred, 200, 300 episodes these days. When COVID hit, it just hit me. I'm like, everybody's at home. Everybody is becoming an entrepreneur. And it's so difficult to connect with individuals right now. We're all sitting on our couch.

We can't go anywhere during COVID. And I'm like, this makes no sense. I'm like, I can't just call people anymore. It's awkward because we all get so many DMs on Instagram, Facebook, Slack, all these different socials. And then we have to read through them and just use our intuition on who we should set up a meeting with. And often there's a lot of opportunities missed, right?

We're all not perfect at reading these messages, reading someone's profile and deciding. When I was driving one day, I just called someone that was on my podcast who ran a tech company. I said, hey, I have this great idea. I just want to be able to connect with other professionals through one-on-one audio calls. Is that possible? Can we design an app that allows this?

And he said, we might be able to. Let me talk to some of my developers. And he calls me back, says we could do it. We're going to spend about four to six weeks building out wireframes. There is a cost to this. And we'll put some of our developers on calls with you every single day. And do you want to proceed? I was bored to be honest now, and it was COVID and it was only a chunk of money.

Most of these type of MVPs that are designed with wireframes cost $5,000 to $25,000 typically. And it was just amazing. What came out on paper is what we see today in the app store. And I went with it. This was back in 2020 on paper. And then 2021, we started building it. And of course it's been a roller coaster, which we'll get into.

We started actually developing it in January 2021. And then the first MVP launched in beta the end of 2021. We had about six developers and Right off the bat, I would say if anyone's considering building an app, be careful. They're expensive.
