funding the company with $100,000 pre-seed round at a $7 million cap last year, then did a $20,000 round this year at a slightly higher cap to buy some extra runway for full-time today.

Two co-founders.

We'll see what they do next.

Hey folks, my guest today is Josh Martel.

Before founding Chaser, he got an MBA from Berkeley and was employee number one at Thriver Technologies, which is a series B, 165 employees and broke 60 million in revenue.

He built and led the sales, product engineering, growth, and digital marketing and business intelligence practices at the organization, holding three different director roles throughout his tenure.

That led him to identify the need for a tool like Chaser at try.chaseforme.com forward slash slack.

Josh, you ready to take us to the top?

Absolutely.

All right.

Well, I guess first thing, it sounds like you're on a rocket ship at Thriver.

How many years were you there?

Five years.

OK, so your one year cliff for your vest was completed, huh?

And the bonus top up round came a year later.

Why?

I mean, if you were killing it, which it sounds like you were, why didn't they try and keep you with an additional option grant?

That's so funny or zoom around or something.

Okay.

So what is Chaser?
