In 2021, we raised close to a million dollars through strategic partners with professionals, so legal and financial partners.

TradeRev was an amazing opportunity.

I was there within the first 50 employees.

I was, you know, we were working there and we helped grow that company really quickly.

And then when we got acquired, we went into a corporate culture, you know, car, the company that bought us, you know, there was at that time close to about 15,000 employees, part of car.

So they asked me to run international marketing in 2019 and I enjoyed it.

But what I really missed was that startup culture.

You know, with TradeRev, you were building, there was a hustle, you were nimble, you were agile.

And I really was looking to get back into it.

And more importantly, I actually learned a lot during my TradeRev days.

Business modeling, strategy, sales, operations.

And at some point,

I wanted to take a bet on myself.

And so my partner and the founder of Ready When, Jesse Bade, he had an idea late in 2019.

He's been a trusted BC notary for over 15 plus years.

He was also the president of the BC...

a notary public society out there.

And so when he came to me with this idea of Ready When, I was instantly intrigued because I did my competitive research.

There wasn't anything really like that.

And we always say, and if there was, he would have been using it.
