My question is, I want to make sure when we're saying members, are these paid seats or are these people contributing to your learning model that might be free?

You've taken companies to 100 million bucks in revenue a couple times, you're not going to share this, but my best estimate on your revenue to say with 150 employees, most VC backed companies do between 102,000 bucks in revenue per employee, which would put you at like 20 million bucks ish in ARR.

How many years do you think it'll take you to break 100 million bucks in revenue with this idea?

So I'm always going to ask the question.

And so I guess, I mean, can you share anything about how you take an idea from where you are today to north of a hundred million bucks since you've done this so many times?
