I spend most of my time in sales calls, strategy, fundraising, that kind of stuff, whatever needs to be done.
My other co-founder is one of my others is Todd.
I don't know.
I know Todd because he's my best friend's dad.
So I've known him for a while.
And Todd is a unicorn in the sense that he's both a veteran CFO and a veteran CTO.
And a lot of these decisions that people make in their cloud stack are multi-stakeholder decisions where you're looking at both finance and engineering having a pretty serious role.
And so he's able to harmonize the language between those two.
And he's a pretty great founder himself, having taken multiple companies to 20, 30 million ARR himself.
Jason, my other co-founder, I actually worked with at my last company, Weave.
He was our first non-technical hire, helped us get to a million ARR.
uh then became the head of product at a fintech called grow which is based in canada they had an exit to atb financial but jason um you know helped build some of the first public cloud projects at some of the major fis in canada and in in our experience here's a consistent pattern is we've all sold um you know apis of various sorts um so even at my last company weave i was selling
an API to the major CPG firms and health and fitness firms to help them with 3D customization as well.
And Jason was selling FinTech APIs to the bank.
So we understand both vendor and buyer pain points very well.
Well, fundraising through pivots is tough.
You know, we've kept the same cap table since the very beginning.
We've done a tiny bit of cleanup for sure, but I would say this, we've just tried to find high value angels.
That's been our focus until very recently where we did get the involvement of two firms, Voyager Capital and Wonder Ventures.
And YC Continuity also participated in our last round.
