 First off, you've raised what? Four million dollars. Yes. Okay, and how much of that was from Alan? Don't tell him Okay, so tell me a good portion of it a good portion of it All right, so did you have a hard time raising money because you're not based in New York or San Francisco? right well it not not in the not really the You know, we we had a lot of traction up front So a lot of our of our of our VC kind of path was inbound So we talked to a lot of folks and and then I met Alan as we were kind of going through the Funding process and because we had traction hit some really good milestones I think that when that happens. It doesn't matter where you are I think the money and the attention will flow to you. So Alan. What attracted you to this company? I would say what didn't attract me to it It's a it's a business that has a very good margin. It's got a continuing subscription model where companies who Take the service There's a very low dropout and it's a continuing thing that just stays with it. It's growing at 25 30 percent a month It's got a great management team They it's in an area that there aren't too many other people dealing with this is a So far you're tracking human resource like you're a human resource outsourced company, right? What we're doing is we're helping businesses with hourly employees Give them tools and communication tools to schedule and communicate with them Now this is all in line with what Steve case Alan who you know very well is doing He's trying to raise the profile of companies based outside of New York in San Francisco Saying that there are great startups in other cities So I want to play for both of you one comment that Steve case made to us a few weeks ago on his rise of the rest bus tour We're seeing startups develop all over the country And so we decided to do this kind of road trip through the heartland of America to shine a spotlight on the on the Entrepreneurs in those cities and some of the startups in those cities to attract more press attention and attract more investor interest Not just investing in the usual places, but reaching out to some of these regions that are really showing great signs of Momentum, it'll be a stronger nation if we have our entrepreneurial ecosystem spread more broadly But as I had said to Steve Alan, which is what I'll say to you now is that you might find a Think of this clicks once every five years But at least in Silicon Valley or in New York you would find a company like this several times a year That may be step maybe said but you know, it's funny that I hadn't at all coordinate with Steve I didn't know he was on this bus tour, but our last investments were in Minneapolis Indianapolis We're looking we'll be in St. Louis in a few weeks. We just saw a deal yesterday in Nashville, Tennessee I mean the adventure community particularly in the West Coast on the West Coast in Silicon Valley We have an office in LA. We don't have that same kind of regional bias But they've been operating for a long time on the idea We don't want to go outside our area code or we don't want to go outside our zip code and Maybe they don't need to Well, there's a lot of competition and it goes back to what you said a minute ago about the valuations I'd have to say the valuations are a lot more reasonable in other parts of the country because people like us are willing to make the effort It takes an effort, you know, it was a 24 below zero when I was in Minneapolis Silicon Valley. They like it to be warm all the time. Well, just quickly I was in Detroit Chad where the big question was can you attract the talent though to work at a startup like yours? Yeah, I think you can one of the unique things about being not on the east or west coast is there's not a lot of Tech startups that are that are starting up So but there's a lot of large the Fortune 500 companies have a lot of talent So there's less competition among the the tech startup community to attract talent to a company where they were the talent Has their chance to put their their mark on what they're doing. Chad just attracted Someone who starts next week from from San Francisco. So we're we're attracting cash and people from both from both coasts All right, Chad.
