Trey Lockerbie- This is incredible.
So do you remember, you said you left in Coremetrics quote when you felt it was comfortable, quantified in terms of revenue.
Do you remember ARR in 2005?
And do you remember what it scaled to five years later in 2010 before the acquisition?
I don't.
Okay.
So you basically, also that takes a lot of discipline.
I mean, this thing, it's growing and it's 30 million ARR.
You go, man, I'm just feeling so compelled by this bizarre voice thing.
Did you have trusted lieutenants at CoreMetrics, maybe co-founders, and that sort of gave you extra comfort to leave?
Yeah.
Hey, I want to move forward here.
I have another minute on Bazaar Voice and then spend the rest of the time on your new company, Data World, which we're all excited about.
On Bazaar Voice though, so Brant and you are getting together.
One question I always get from listeners is, Nathan, I've got a great co-founder, but we haven't had the tough equity conversation.
And they always end up just saying 50-50, which I go, man, was it really lazy?
They just didn't want to have the tough conversations.
So they said 50-50.
How did you guys do that?
Did you and Brett just split it 50-50 or how'd you have that conversation?
