So it's really in our DNA and it's really given us access to more talent, more opportunity, obviously lower cost than being just in San Francisco.

Slack is amazing.

We use Google Hangouts.

Obviously a little bit of email here and there, but between Slack and Google Hangouts, it feels like we're always in the same office.

Just because.

It's the intention.

Yeah, that's the scale.

EP 371: $1M Raised, $40k/Mo Marketplace For Class Notes with Sieva Kozinsky

That's kind of how we pitched it in the past.

It's in my memories locked in, you know?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 371: $1M Raised, $40k/Mo Marketplace For Class Notes with Sieva Kozinsky

Not quite, but we'll definitely do a few million in revenue this year.

You know, we've really focused on acquiring the seller side of our marketplace so far.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So over the last year and a half, our main focus was how do you take a smart student and turn them into a profitable note taker, someone who's making money and succeeding on StudySoup.

And we've really focused on creating the system.

And now we feel like we can go out there, take pretty much any student and help them be an entrepreneur, help them make money.

And I think that's what's really driven our success on the platform.
