We are a platform for remote work. Our mission is to create great work from home jobs powered by AI. A lot of companies and and individuals use us to convert audio to text. There's a lot of video all over the web from YouTube to Netflix and it all needs to be captioned and subtitled. And so we serve all of those needs for everybody from the one guy with a podcast to large media companies like CNN. Reggie News uh coming into C and now other side of a business. We have freelancers who work at home.
and can earn money from the pajamas at any time and we give them the ability to choose the work they do, when they do it, they can make money to helpfully live the lifestyle they want. A lot of them are home with children or family obligations and we're able to fill the cracks in their day in a way they can't otherwise do. We have 150 employees, more than half are engineers. We've raised thirty one million dollars. Here we disclosed for the first time that our last valuation was$206 million. There are so many people around the world that would love to work remotely but can't. They don't have opportunity in their small town or country. I just think that there's gonna be a huge change in our lifetimes where by the time I'm dead, I think we'll be a billion people who work remotely.
Five million is not enough. Ten million. Fifte million. Twenty million dollars. Hundred million dollars. One or two people in a bedroom actually the threats to these like giant multi-billion dollar companies because you have creativity and you have nothing to lose. Add another zero to that price, buddy. Add two more zero. Person. No.
