I advise join the company back in 2014 after they pivoted from being just a live chat software.

I'm more focused on what the responses look like. In fact, they've gone so far at another

layer of kind of a marketplace layer on top, helping companies that use them really make sure

they're always responding to these inbound customer requests that are happening. Again,

via these website conversations. Obviously, they price around that metric as well. Today,

they've got about an 18-month payback period as they expand in the U.S. They've got a team of 250

worldwide, again, 10 in the U.S. They've got about 1,500 customers about, again, hoping to break

12, 13 million bucks-ish, something like that in ARR here shortly as they look to target 40%

year-over-year growth and hopefully 50 million bucks in ARR here shortly as they look to target 40% year-over-year growth and hopefully

50 million bucks in ARR by the end of 2020.
