I launched the company in 2011, raised a seed round in 2012, and then raised our A round in seven days in 2013.
We've raised $10 million total, and our series B is the most recent.
Oh, just because fundraising can be quite of a bear as entrepreneurs talk about.
And so we figured out different ways in which it scaled the business pretty quickly.
You can actually raise capital.
Uh, great question.
So two parts to that.
The first one is the lead investor was not a firm I was at, um, but they, uh, they were kind of got a first look at what we were doing.
Um, and in terms of the trend, we basically, we showed them a product at the time, um, that worked that actually measured the impact of PR.
And back then in 2013, I mean, that was just unfathomable.
Nothing like that existed.
And so when we showed them that it worked and showed them the prototype of it, it was pretty quick to generate some interest.
So we don't address the total number of customers or total amount of revenue, but we have a wide range of customers and a lot of really big brands that use it all the way down to nonprofits.
Yeah, we just don't talk about the total number of clients, but it's a wide range.
Well, for a lot of the reason why a lot of companies are, um, they generally don't disclose revenue amounts.
Yeah, I totally appreciate the question.
And if I was on the flip side, I'd want to know the answer, too.
I mean, the simple equation is you multiply the answer I gave in terms of our average revenue by the number of customers and then you get our revenue.
There you go.
We have between 100 and 10,000.
