“So our MSRP is just like any SaaS product. It's based on per seat. So they're paying $16 per seat per month right now to get everything. It's unlimited data. Doesn't limit the amount of data they protect. They can protect from, you know, one file all the way to the entire drives or all their data. We don't care the amount of data, but it's a user based model.”
“So we we signed very quickly right now. We are over 30 right now. I believe it's 32, 33 customers right now. We are in the logo generation and quick feedback mode, and by the way, we also sell through partners, that's our main go to market model. These include not just, you know, reseller MSP, MSP partners, but also other tech partnerships as well, and we have more than 20 partnership agreements active to the state.”
“We have 15 folks full time today and growing. So Mhmm. Again, as you have mentioned, heavy on engineering and development. I'm coming from a tech technical background myself, which helps build a team like I mean, you know, train even the team from my academic background.”
