“I was actually like $150,000 in debt. You can't tell by my smile in this picture. But I was a $150,000 in debt if you count law school, undergrad. And then when we started the business, I put $25,000 on my credit card and my co founder put $25,000 on his credit card. For some reason Chase gave us this ridiculous limit. It made no sense for a 23 year old. But that's how we funded the business.”
“This was a bad LOI for what it's worth. But the business was profitable because we didn't know how to run a we didn't have an option otherwise. And so you have to build a profitable business because after the $25,000 of Chase financing ran out, there was no more money to run the business.”
“Look, we're public. The company's growing 60% a year. It's doing it profitably at 40% operating margins. We've done 12 acquisitions in our history. We'll continue to do M and A.”
