“So what we do, Nathan, is we take knowledge from all different sources. So we take from books, we take from courses, we take from documentaries and we hack that knowledge to condense it down into something a lot smaller, into a unique format that we've created that gives you the whole essence of that book or that course or that documentary in five minutes.”
“We've got, about, on a monthly basis, about 35,000 active users.”
“We take that content and we use a mix of machine learning and human curation to bring the whole thing together. So it's a whole different thing. Process, machine learning, human curation to bring a hack. We do it that way so we can scale the business. So right now we can do a hack in about a couple of hours.”
