They left Yammer after Microsoft acquired Yammer and they founded Kotap.

Yeah, I mean, we recapped the company.

Like Zinc is a brand new company.

The heritage of Kotap is just the core product.

We've raised 16 million today.

I mean, we kicked off the company with a $5 million seed round.

And the product, again, we had a core shell of a product, which then we spent a lot of engineering hours to build it into what it is today.

But we really wanted to pour fuel on the sales and marketing.

And the COTAP was doing a little tiny bit of revenue with a couple of customers, but not enough to really...

fuel the business and get us going.

So that original 5 million, which was emergence capital and CRV, and that was really what it took to get the company off the ground and hire more employees and get a bunch of new customers.

And then in April of last year, we raised an official A round led by GE Ventures, also with participation from Hearst Ventures.

You can imagine GE has a lot of deskless field-based workers.

So they were very interested.

Oh, yeah.

They've invested in every single, you know, they're still with us.

So Jason Green is the chairman of our board.

Got it.

So Emergence is, and Emergence was also on the board at ServiceMax and on the board at SuccessFactors.

So I have a very long history with those guys.
