launched AskHR with his buddies back in 2017, about a year and a half ago under a big umbrella

corporation, now charging about $5 per month per seat, about 150,000 seats, so call it $62,000

in revenue up from nothing just a year ago. Professional services, stuff on top of that, again,

serving kind of the HR space, signing deals in the smallest couple thousand seats, all the way up to

big corporate accounts, 50,000 seats to friends or folks they've networked with at conferences like the

Sharm Conference in Chicago or the HR Tech Conference in Vegas. They raised a little bit of capital

on a safe note, six team members between Austin, Boston, and New York City. Again, knowledge

management and support automation inside these teams. Hello, everyone. My guest today is James Sturges.

He has a strong software engineering and product design background, having led several

teams in building enterprise software.

Today, or he is co-founder and VP of product at Odseb, focusing on building better

knowledge management and support tools for employees.

James is an avid golfer, adventurous, traveler, and passionate problem solver. James, are you ready to

take us to the top? I am. All right, now, just to be clear, today you're working on AskHR, though,

correct? So, AskHR is one of our products. So we have sort of an underlying AI platform, and

AskHR is our first product that's using that underlying platform. Okay, So that's what we should talk about, right? Not the parent company with a weird name. Correct. All right. Ask HR. So are you, I mean, and let's understand the

stage. So I mean, have you launched or pre-revenue still or where are you at? So officially we're

pre-revenue, but we have, we've launched with probably about a dozen major customers and

a couple of other smaller customers. And we're lucky that some of those customers are in the Fortune 500 space.

So we're seeing a lot of really exciting sort of user movement with,

we do a per seat sort of revenue model. So, you know, we do have a lot of seats using our software

that are encompassed in that dozen or so.
