“So we have two ways that we monetize. One is collaboration features, specifically between sales, finance, and legal, right? So any, so sales kicks off a contract. Anytime anything's edited or reviewed, or there's a change made, legal wants eyeballs on that. And then anytime it's fully executed and there's an invoice or purchase order created against it, obviously finance needs to be aware of that. So we bring all those together in our own kind of collaborative environment. So we're not competing against Slack, but we have our own collaboration features. And then we charge for that. B to B monthly SAS.”
