And we think there's an opportunity to build an operating system for global manufacturing. The reason I say that and the reason it's relevant is because anytime you're building vertical software, I think it's really important to build a team that has one foot in the industry and one foot in technology.

It's really hard to build vertical software for an industry if you are just a bunch of pure technologists sitting in your ivory tower saying, hey, why doesn't the industry work this way? It should work this way because this is how software industries work.

Conversely, it's hard to build a technology company in particular, a venture-backed technology company, that too, by just being a pure insider of the industry without understanding or knowing how technology can change and influence workflows and actually change the industry.

My goal was always to build a group of folks that were technologists who understood supply chain and supply chain professionals who understood technology.

So across my head of operations and engineering and product and sales, marketing, go-to-market, people, ops too, I've sought to bring together a group of folks who come from manufacturing supply chains and quality as an industry and vertical and folks who have built technology but can empathize with how the physical world works and how goods and products are made.

We find ourselves constantly having to fight scale. And this is one of the beauties of the physical world, but also one of the most challenging bits is that everything is not pure software, right? The beauty of software is software can scale. You can build once and then you can scale a million times over.

In the physical world, and especially when you're building kind of technology-enabled operation, you touch the physical world. Like, these are people involved, and these are atoms that are involved. So that level of scale doesn't quite happen there. But I would argue that optimizing for scale early on is one of the most surefire ways to kill a company.
