Yeah, Nathan, thanks for having me.
Well, Dakin, as I told you by email, we're not going to share numbers.
We're a private company.
Sure.
So since we started, we've had 85,000 apps published on our platform, mostly around events and groups.
We were founded in 2011.
We launched in 2012.
There was a hiatus period.
I left Warner Brothers in 2010.
We moved to New York City as a family.
I was doing some consulting and I had the idea for Yap.
I found my co-founder in 2011 and we launched in 2012.

As you know, use it for social things.
Hey, we're getting together in the park, etc.
The market we service are professional events.
Sometimes it's called the mice industry, the meetings, incentives, conferences, etc.
And so what we're doing is we're providing event technology for organizers.
They could be inside of the corporation.
