“We're a virtual events platform that really focuses on engagement and networking. You know, most of you guys have heard of virtual events before or or been to them. And I I feel like, you know, you you kinda shrug in general. You know, there's been... Virtual events have existed for twelve years. It kind of always sucks.”
“We have a new website coming out that shows all our functionality. I mean, we're in early access early access, but we have so many users now. But we do have a really big wait list. We just don't have a big enough team to basically handle the support and the customer success.”

You get a thousand people in a funnel coming into one event, and then on the other end of the funnel, when they finish the event, if they have a great experience, it takes ten minutes to set up an an event on Hopin.”
