“This is really the next generation automation platform if you think about Rainforest or Sauce Labs. It's traditionally either still really manual or very, very script heavy. And what we're trying to do here is really take big data on computer vision and natural language processing and make testing truly the next generation AI/ML driven, very, very low human touch required approach.”
“Zenefits, for example, is a customer that we took. They were customer of Rainforest and moved over to Functionize and have been successful ever since, and and we're excited to have them as a customer.”
“Cash flow positive company, successful previous company that that enabled me to dabble and take the company and bootstrap it to quite far. And then we... Once we had a working product and we saw early beta customers, you know, we charge always charge something. So we're charging, I think, $500 per customer early on. Then then we were able to raise friends and family round, and then from there, things kind of took off organically.”
