“Bought for eighty million using the same underlying technology, cloud code, right?”

“The market would say that the Wix acquisition has worked very well and, you know, it's probably going to be fifty million in ARR by the end of the year.”

“I'm not worried about those three.”

“Every Feature that we put out. We know that's going to take either a few weeks or a few months for competitor to copy, and we see that a lot.”

“Nowadays we get, like, tens of thousands of prompts, like, a minute or whatever in tandem, and so we measure the sentiment”

“And then, and like the business was very profitable.”

“Software building as a category is gonna grow insanely fast. I think our notion from the previous age of venture capital where a winner takes it all is wrong. And I think this category is going to be so big that everybody will take a niche at some point.”

“It was either I raise a lot of money and a lot of funding, or I go and join Wix that basically triples my chances at actually building something special.”

“For us, base 44 was built in the age of LLMs, and so I structured the repository in a way that's going to be very easy for LLMs to navigate through and to read the code. I think for us, it's already closer to 90%.”

“And I think this is a really interesting strategy that we're also thinking internally is, like, go as fast as you can with the frontier models. At some point, open source becomes really a viable option to maybe fine tune on, like, the billions, almost trillion…”

“I don't think current margins are bad, but I think they're going to get way better.”

“I felt like in my eyes, this is going to be the largest category in, in software industry. Cause a lot of like existing categories that we're familiar with. And CRM and support systems and task management and project management and stuff like that are going to…”

“I don't think in any way, no business is hurting. If anything I think the war on talent is really tough in Silicon Valley.”

“I think that we are the youngest company ever that going to have Super Bowl commercial.”

“It took me, I think, six or seven years and weeks to do what we did in base in, like, months and a half, in two months.”

“We are going to do two Super Bowl spots this year. One is for Wix, and this is going to be the sixth one that we're doing for the amazing company that I'm part of it in the last 18 years. And in addition to that, we are going to have Super Bowl spots for base …”

“And what they'done better than most public companies is hell with a great acquisition. They got a hundred million of AI revenue on top of it.”

“Wix is way, way, way, way, way more profitable, right? The cost of a Wix, generating Wix website is pretty much zero in comparison, and hosting pretty much zero in comparison. So, way more profitable on Wix than on Base-Four, and the margins are much better.”

“Because if you look at peers, they're doing a vibe coding, the multipart is much higher than the one we would get for base to be a two billion, right? So basically on its own should probably be at eight billion.”

“We make about four hundred million dollars a year in free cash flow, and we invest about 200 and something million into base 44.”

“We've, ah, the M&A of Base-Forty-Four, right? Well, we bought a company with one person. I want to be clear, right? And then we put a lot of people from Wix into that, right?”

“I would imagine probably 800 to a thousand. And the majority of them would actually be engineers.”

“And so I think that in, in, in two years or maybe less this is not gonna be an important question.”

“So best for the floor is around 400 people. Weeks in total is about including about 3500.”
