We have a paid CTO now, and we've taken an investment to be able to help pay him just because we needed-

Currently, we've raised $100K and we're about to raise a $400K pre-seed round.

So that will be very interesting.

But I'm not taking any payment.

It's just to pay employees and help cover some of our company costs, which I would say we have under $1,000 in monthly recurring costs on singling.

How many full-time folks are on the team right now?

Currently, we have two people full-time, one almost full-time.

And so it's been fun.

We're all three co-founders.

Nope.

So it's actually quite interesting because we originally didn't intend for them to be co-founders, right?

Like I said earlier, I started this as Neutron Creative, not as SingleLink.

So it's been very interesting as we switched from Neutron Creative to SingleLink full-time.

And one of our early advice from investors we got from Daniel Strachman from 1517 Fund was,

amazing advice, and she was a great investor to talk with, is that we were working alongside Naveed Kabir and Andrew Boyle.

And she says, these two individuals are incredibly passionate about what you're doing.

You need to bring them on as co-founders.

So whatever capacity they had, I basically went up to them and I was like, is there any chance you would be willing to come onto this really full-time?

Let's make it happen.

Let's make it work.
