When you run a company - you don't do it alone. You have your team, your customers, your partners, your friends. Everyone has a stake. Everyone cares. Everyone has an idea or a thought. And we like it that way.

So when we launched this chapter, and closed our first round of funding with our new partners... we knew it was going to be a bit like riding on the space shuttle. Big burst of rocket fuel.
