He started building conference badge All by himself back in 2013, and we joined him, and since he started the product, he had more equity, and it's while running and building Conference Badge that we found the need to communicate, to deal more efficiently with customer support, and we started building Missive, so Conference Badge is the is what allowed Missive to be built, to pay the bills, and So it's two companies, but since one funded the other, the equity remained the same.”
