What is the process to launching an engineering business? I imagine, was there capital raised? Did you have to get employees? Did you just come up with a model and then bring it to be created by somebody else? Walk us through this.

Well, it was interesting because so as an engineer in my engineering class, I would have been in the bottom half, maybe.

So starting an engineering company.

But what's neat is when you get a spark inside of you for an application and supermarkets gave me that spark and really what was inside me came alive.

And What was neat is I borrowed $20,000 from my parents so that I could do just a little bit of branding, have a little bit of runway.

And I didn't realize I would go nine months with no revenue.

And then month 10, I had revenue.

What ended up going on? What happened in this space?
