So we've been doing this for 10 months, my co-founders and I, and then our team at Ember and the company's grown very quickly.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So right now we have just shy of right around $15 million of inventory that's available on the website.

That's homes that we actually have purchased and are for sale.
