A) you have not made a penny from your equity? Yes that’s how equity works. B) completely unique - yeah you built it, so of course it is. Has been built from the ground up with a number of people contributing - yes that’s how things are built normally. Well done turning the res

A) I meant that Founders can sell off stock in secondaries, instead I bought more with cash B) The platform is genuinely a unique product not offered anywhere else in the world. That doesn't mean it's GOOD haha, it has a lot of bugs and product issues, etc... and it's why I have to do some work still ;), but it's indeed a unique model that lets us adapt faster to things and it's an advantage in many ways. AI for productivity is about using AI tools, so you need a background in using AI tools. I can do that one. I don't have a background in ML or LLMs and I can't do anything personally about ML. Unlike Will Sentance who thinks he can so much that he did a public Frotnend Master's Course on it, I don't want to bullshit the public with smoke and mirrors. I know what I can do and what I can't do. The challenge for us with AI for productivity isn't the content, but it's that our 7 years have been outcome driven features for people job hunting and actively interviewing and this AI course just has the goal of learning. So adjusting the platform to focus on that is net new and a challenge we're working on.
