How did you get to where you are today? And I worked really hard and got lucky along the way. Um, my career path is I started a company in college not really knowing what that meant, but I liked this idea. I was trying to pursue a PhD and found it hard to find a PhD mentor. Thought it was stupid. I like it. It just be easier in this day and age of the Internet and everything that's available didn't really understand what I was doing At the time. I was a neuroscience major was a junior in college, but I was like, I'm gonna try and solve this problem. I called up a couple friends and I started working on it together. Uh, from there we was like, We'll keep working on this and not have to get a job after college. I got a raise, some money. So there is some money from their which passionate about it, end up selling that business. Never really wanted to apply for another job. I never really applied for a job and then started up h one Um, it's my career puppets. It's short. It's still early, but really drove me to that once. Prior to the work on this startup idea, I learned about the problem about how academia is reliant. Ella's of research activities are reliant on funding activities like it N I. H. Grant, very publisher Parish. I learned a lot about that with my first start up and realized, um, the amount of federal funding be important. Health care research is not increasing as quickly as the research is needed, and a lot of private funding. So from industry is coming into academia and healthcare organizations. And I learned that it's done in a pretty backwards way. Industry has no clue to fund, no clue to collaborate with, um, it was really hard challenge for them. And so I learned that research connection working with universities, and I thought we could solve that problem and just started working on that problem. A couple friends and it grew from there

from the world. Um, it's used by pharmaceutical med device and biotechs in order to identify the proper health care professionals and healthcare organizations to partner with for funding activities for educational activities, etcetera. Uh, we're competitors. We were not first to market. We just think we built a better product. IPhone was second to market after phones and smartphones, but still better than everything else that was there. And so, uh, they were using our competitors. Um, there are databases of academics and health care professionals to engage with which we just did it better.

Yeah. Should we build a database of PhD students? Is that useful to the world? Should we build a database of should we talk toe the government? Because the government spends $40 billion a year view the N i h. Do they want to spend that money more efficiently? I no idea where we're doing? Uh, we were just trying to trying to figure that out. Uh, we got our first customer by a random email that was sent to be, like, an introduction. They weren't looking to buy anything, but they said well, by a database of all the physicians in the U. S. E was like, All right, we gotta build it. So when you started building it from there on, then it kept growing.
