Yeah, we have about 25 outside clients, you know, average tickets paying around seven grand a month for the services.

So, you know, we've got ourselves upwards of, you know, with our with some of our other project work and things we've done, we've got ourselves right around a million and a half ARR in the first year.

Yeah, so sure.

So thanks for having me, Nathan.

It's really exciting to be here and talk to you.

Yeah, so I've had a long career operating SaaS businesses, SaaS startups.

Claim to fame helped build a company called Dyn that we built to 100 million ARR and sold to Oracle back in 2016.

And in parallel- What was the price?

I mean, I just say it's a rumored 600 million.

So yeah, I mean, but we had a great success.

Jeremy and the team we had around us, you know, we all built just a really fun company.

We did it in our hometown of Manchester, New Hampshire.

And in parallel to that, I had been angel investing, like many of the other dying early executives and doing advising and boards and

By the time I ended up staying at Oracle, I spent three years as the general manager of the business unit, ran cloud strategy for Oracle.

And I kept feeling like the traditional venture capital industry or the conventional sort of way of operating businesses were binary decisions.

So I thought, I wonder if York IE could enable me to invest, but also advise, consult, build

our own SaaS platform, sort of build this kind of vertically integrated next generation company.

So that's really what York IE is.

It's a SaaS business, it's an advising consulting business, and it's an investment business focused on early stage technology startups.

So we actually haven't even launched it publicly yet.
