Q And this is very interesting. You went ahead and interviewed 200 people, right? How, how is it possible? Like, how can somebody set up meeting for you? You said that the founder has to go ahead and set up all these meetings for yourself.
A No, so this is where I hired an HDR, and basically asked her to set up meetings, and I didn't give a lot of specifications. I didn't say that I need companies only of this size, or I need x percentage of this size companies. I just asked her, gave her a big list, and asked her to set up meetings. And then I also tried to incentivize people who were forthcoming with their time. So either a Starbucks card of 50 dollars or hundred dollars for the time they spent with me. And, and usually it was 50 dollars. The folks who did really well were generous with their time. I rewarded them with hundred dollars. So that's how we, we went about doing the interviews.
