Hey, Nathan, how are you doing?

I was actually already in the late 20s.

I was working in the corporate world, but then I started consulting on the sidelines, started this business at the time.

I had my own frustrations around email.

Inbox2 was about email.

Yeah, I think, you know, in hindsight, I might have started or at least started working for a startup a lot earlier in my life.

So I think late 20s, you know, I was already like six, seven years down a career path.

Yeah, so this is like, you know, we're talking about 07, 06, you know, right at the moment when Twitter was breaking out, Facebook was starting to become mainstream.

We started actually an application which kind of brought a lot of things together with email, but also, you know, some of these new upcoming services like Facebook, Twitter, even LinkedIn at the time, you know, we hacked a lot of things together.

So we actually built an application online and also for your desktop.

like a unified communications platform.

And it's primarily focused on users, you know, power users.

And, you know, that was a really... Karam, I still don't understand what it does.

Well, it would be that one place where you could, you know, connect with your Facebook friends, LinkedIn people.

You can message everybody from just one single platform.

You know, you could actually send, you know, and we actually have the concept of like Uber profiles.

If we were connected on LinkedIn, on Facebook, it would all show you that together in one single platform, you know?

Oh, I see.

Yeah.

This sounds maybe a bit, you know, like trivial today, but back in the days, about 10 years ago, you know, this was pretty, pretty common.
