A Uh, actually I was running my previous company. I was a CEO of another tech startup. It was Octaline.ru. It's a virtual PBX service for small businesses. Uh, that's also a software product that I created while working at another company. Then I came to a CEO of that company and, uh, offered him to start this business together, Octaline. And I was running it for a couple of years and was struggling with conversion. So we didn't have a lot of marketing budget. Uh, spend on advertising. We need to make sure that, uh, our website works to convert that traffic. And I was looking for live chat, uh, tools to install on our website. And I realized that there was no really good products that I loved as, and as an engineer, I understood, I, I, I thought that I could do better, do better than that. So all those products had some problems, either they were too expensive or ugly or both. So, uh, That's the one I decided that I can do better than the came to, uh, my classmate actually, and, uh, suggested that him that we created together. And that's how it started.
