$90M
Employee Equity Pool (2007 to 2023)

“A Proficorn, I coined this word few years ago because I was fed up of listening to all the unicorn stories. I said we are profitable. No one writes about us in the media. We don't have venture capital. We don't have great investors on our on our cap table.”
“You build a Proficorn, you build a $100,000,000 revenue valuation company. If you own most of it, that's the same thing. And it's much easier to get to 15,000,000 than probably 200,000,000.”
“If I look at the last ten years, the per share value of netcore has grown 25% CAGR. That's 10x in ten years.”
