The units, when it's not IT that does the thing.

That situation where budget allocation is not advantageous.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
738: Is He The Future of Design Collaboartion? 1200 Customers and $3m in Revenues Say Yes!

No, no, it's fine.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
738: Is He The Future of Design Collaboartion? 1200 Customers and $3m in Revenues Say Yes!

738: Is He The Future of Design Collaboartion? 1200 Customers and $3m in Revenues Say Yes!

Yeah, we sponsored it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
738: Is He The Future of Design Collaboartion? 1200 Customers and $3m in Revenues Say Yes!

Probably around the total thing, because not just the sponsorship cost, but travel and so forth, probably around 30 grand.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
