I came in through the Vista side of things to run automated insights.
I've been running companies since 1987.
So, and a hundred percent of what I've done my whole life is technology.
And just, you know, and I just love the technology that we have.
Great team, great set of customers.
So it's a very exciting time for our company.
Yeah, so I knew a number of the Vista CEOs and Vista people.
So you're right that sometimes that happens where an operating partner looks at the deal and they take over.
In this case, I was a known entity to Vista and I was very, very interested in working with Vista because they're quite unique.
And that uniqueness is that they exclusively invest in enterprise SaaS companies.
So when you think of private equity, there's some niche firms that are very vertically focused, but they tend to be smaller.
Vista is very large, but vertically focused on software businesses.
You see other companies in their size, they may invest all over the place.
They don't necessarily have an expertise in the industry.
So I think the Vista model is quite unique.
I think it brings a lot of advantage to our customers.
I also think it's very attractive for our team because it provides them with a tremendous amount of development and how to operate a business with best practices.
I don't have a total customer count, but it is several hundred customers that are active.
And what's really interesting is that our sales team is in the US, so we're based in Durham, North Carolina.
We now have people on the East Coast, on the West Coast.
