“We actually started first line of code probably around June, July 2023. But the thing is, is that in order to do what we are doing today, we actually started from the foundation and the foundation was to build a sophisticated proprietary graph database that for the first time connects and links automatically using AI all the various data sources in the office of the CFO.”
“I'd like to think that the initial use case we start with, it's around the way we kind of sell it, it's the cost of a single resource, a final resource. So it's, I would say it's around like a 100, a $125,000 for the the initial starter use case.”
