Welcome to HackerNoon’s Writing Prompts! Would you like to take a stab at answering some of these questions? The link for the template is HERE. THE LIST is a luxury fashion marketplace powered by <GENESYS>, an AI-based API developed in-house. THE LIST allows the world’s best boutiques and brands to run AI-driven catalog production at current 810x cost efficiency vs. traditional product catalog production, enabling retailers to sell in 190 countries with integration time in single-digit days. THE LIST was founded by Andreas Skorski and has offices in New York City and Dubai. 1. What is your company in 2–5 words? Luxury fashion powered by AI. 2. Why is now the time for your company to exist? Luxury ecommerce has imploded in the last year or so (Financial Times, NYT). This is not an understatement. Online marketplaces for luxury brands are weighed down by incredibly high costs: tech development, catalog production, shipping, and data architecture. The tech behind luxury fashion marketplaces is 10 years behind and extremely inefficient. Even with margins of 50%, these marketplaces can’t make it work. That said, the market for luxury is not going anywhere.We built The List to showcase what the next stage of e-commerce is: that AI can operate a luxury fashion marketplace. We are building the largest LLM library in the industry to eliminate some of the market’s critical operational inefficiencies. Our AI-based API, <GENESYS> is the first viable, market-tested AI solution in the luxury industry, and powers other major retailers as well. Our machine learning API transforms any in-store retail product into a catalog in real-time by mapping ERP (enterprise resource planning) data, extracting attributes, and enriching data from images,  producing dozens of relevant data points  to describe it as such. It doesn’t just see a photo of a shoe. It understands the height of the heel, the fact that it’s suede, the exact color, the seasons it can be worn in. It’s 98.9% accurate and working for hundreds of thousands of products in real-time. 3. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? Many of our data scientists previously worked for a competitor or the biggest global retail brands. They see how the future of e-commerce could look like and want to actually build something that operates at the same level AI really operates today, having efficiency as the number 1 priority in mind. The cost of getting a single product (SKU) into a catalog can be up to $80 per SKU. It’s fairly common for marketplaces to add 100,000 new SKUs to their sites weekly, so our competitors are burning a ton of cash every week. Our team has been watching, training, and guiding our own model of catalog production for years. Our cost is now down to less than 10 cents per SKU. So the team is remarkably goal-oriented and determined to find solutions to problems they personally experienced as data scientists in the industry. 4. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? Probably building some other startup. When I was 17 I created the first ad scanner technology for print magazines in Germany. Since then I haven’t really stopped. 5. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your metrics? We are a software-focused retail marketplace, so we look at both the retail success of our marketplace and the efficiency of our <GENESYS> API. For us it is all about giving a top-class experience to our customers while driving down costs for our suppliers. From a software POV: Accuracy rate of our LLMs — how often is human intervention needed?


Items scanned – SKUs processed per month by our API


Integration time – how long does it take for a retailer to put their products on The List? From a retail POV we are looking at: Gross Merchandise Value
Customers and their stickiness
Suppliers and their stickiness 6. In a few sentences, what do you offer to whom? If you buy luxury fashion: You can expect to find all your favorite brands on The List at the best possible price globally available, enabled through <GENESYS>. If you are a decision maker at a company that sells luxury fashion: You can expect the fastest integration time globally available with no engineering cost involved from your side, market-tested AI-based catalog production, and related AI-driven efficiencies in marketing, shipping, and pricing. If there is an inefficiency in the value chain we are likely already working on the models to fix it. 7. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? Luxury fashion is perfect for data scientists to train a model. It’s very fast moving and changes all the time. There’s seasonality in collections, now even more with capsule collections. And the more variations you feed into a model, the faster it learns. We started out years ago, and at the time, AI-driven efficiencies were not hot. The progress of LLMs on the market has accelerated interest in what we do, which is very exciting. You can do a lot with open source models, but you have an advantage if you already have a database that you’ve been training with your own models and scanning millions of data points. Tens of thousands of customers have validated our AI with their purchases.  It’s gratifying to be getting traction now with suppliers and other major players in the industry. 8. Where do you think your growth will be next year? We are going to scale our direct to consumer marketplace growth this year in more markets while  also building out our platform business with our b2b customers. 9. Tell us about your first paying customer and revenue expectations over the next year. We had our first paying customer years ago! We’re pivoting. 10. What’s your biggest threat? Our biggest threat is a general bearishness in the luxury market at the moment. Retailers are skittish about investing in multi brand marketplaces after what has happened to our competitors. They’re looking at finding better solutions, but there is still a lot of education to be done in the AI space to showcase it is already a commercially viable and operating solution and not just a dream of the future. Our task is to convince them that marketplaces aren’t the problem; it’s just that they need to be better and evolve. The List is the next evolution of how to operate e-commerce 2.0 in luxury fashion.

Tech Behind Luxury Fashion Marketplaces is 10 Years Behind, Says The List Founder Andreas Skorski

About 80% of the team at my early-stage startup have stock options. These talented individuals could have chosen to work for big-name companies if I hadn’t made them co-owners. For startups, offering options to employees is the most effective approach to attract talent. When you're small, it's nearly impossible to match the salaries paid by tech giants like Google, Microsoft, or Netflix. What you can provide is ownership in a potentially multi-million dollar company. If you're a fellow founder, you've likely already googled how to issue stock options. Here, I offer tips from my own journey. Show $$$ but Explain Risks When I hire people, I offer them three choices: no stock options and a higher salary, a middle-level option, and the highest possible option at a lower salary. For me, it's a positive sign if a potential employee accepts an option for compensation. It means they aren’t just interested in making money but also in my startup’s product, and they will do their best to make the company successful. To get employees interested in the stock option, you have to explain your startup idea to them (just like when you talked to investors). Prepare your pitch; describe the opportunities and risks. Stock options allow employees to buy company shares at a fixed price (the strike price) and potentially sell them at a much higher market price later. This can lead to big financial gains if the company's value goes up. Provide concrete figures when discussing this with employees. If the startup becomes very successful and is bought for $200M, the employee who had 1% of the option receives $2M. Saying “two million dollars” can serve as a strong selling point. But startups often fail, and yours may too. And the stock options might end up being worthless. It is crucial to prepare the team for this scenario, making sure everyone understands the terms they are agreeing to. Managing expectations is one of the most critical aspects of effective management. Sell, but don’t oversell. Don't Get Greedy I have allocated 15% of my startup’s total equity for the employee stock option pool, a rate considered optimal. Each employee receives between 0.2% to 2% of the options. Go through the checklist below to try to see the fairest way to issue stock options: Consider the employee's market salary and/or their requested salary. Determine the amount you are willing to offer as compensation. Compensate the difference with stock options based on the estimated company valuation during the next round. Don't skimp on employee stock options — you are aiming to attract the best talent in the market, so come up with a fair compensation. Evaluate the employee's role, responsibilities, and contributions to the company. Roles with significant impact or employees who notably contribute to the company's growth and success typically receive a larger share of the stock options than others. Senior software engineers, along with elite marketing professionals like CMOs or heads of sales, are instrumental in driving product development and attracting customers. Their expertise is not only crucial for engaging customers but also for appealing to investors. Given their significance, specialists like these can effortlessly be entitled to up to 3% of the total option pool. Regularly review and adjust stock options as the company expands and develops. What may have seemed like a fair allocation in the early stages might need modification as the company scales and hires more people. Establish Vesting Rules To align your interests with those of your employees, promote long-term commitment, and ensure that equity is earned gradually. First, determine the total duration for which equity will vest. While the standard vesting period is typically 4 years, this timeframe can vary depending on the specific circumstances. Consider implementing a "cliff" period where no equity vests until a specific milestone is reached. In our startup, we incorporated a 1-year cliff. This approach allows sufficient time to assess an employee's performance and track progress. After that year, an employee receives the initial portion of stock options, around 25%, and then the shares vest monthly. Clearly communicate the vesting rules to employees in their offer letters, employment agreements, or equity grant agreements. Documenting the vesting rules is crucial to prevent misunderstandings later on. Besides, having a structure for the employee option pool is important during the funding process: Investors will certainly examine whether you have established clear rules.

How to Give Employees Stock Options: Tips From Founder to Founders

Decentralized finance (DeFi) continues innovating, with platforms integrating popular messaging apps like Telegram. This convergence brings financial services directly to users, tapping into Telegram's extensive user base and intuitive interface. Projects such as Storm Trade, Telegram Wallet, Ston.Fi and Dedust pioneer this approach, offering trading, wallet, and exchange services within the Telegram ecosystem. As traditional finance and decentralized solutions intersect, Telegram-integrated DeFi platforms simplify complex financial services, potentially driving mass adoption. Storm Trade, a decentralized derivatives trading platform built on the TON blockchain, has been making waves in the Telegram-integrated DeFi space. With a 24-hour trading volume of $8,749,409 and a total value locked (TVL) of $11,198,846. Storm Trade aims to attract the next 10 million DeFi users by offering leverage trading up to 50x directly through the Telegram messaging app. In the coming months, Storm Trade is set to launch its native token, $STORM. Holders of the platform's Market Makers NFT will have the first opportunity to purchase the token at a fixed price. As Storm Trade prepares for this token launch, we had the chance to sit down with Denis Vasin, Co-Founder & Lead Dev of Storm Trade, to discuss the project's vision, the role of Telegram integration, and the challenges of operating in the rapidly evolving DeFi space. Can you tell us about the unique features of Storm Trade that set it apart from other derivatives trading platforms? In fact, Storm Trade is the first derivative DEX right on Telegram. By DEX I don't mean 2 buttons and a chart, I'm talking about a serious tool along with a mode for professional traders. Storm Trade is a social-fi solution that aims to make trading not only convenient but also not boring, adding advanced mechanics in the form of trading tournaments, squads, NFT collections, while adding professional tools in the form of cross-margin, copy-trading and much more. How does the direct integration with Telegram benefit users and contribute to the growth of Storm Trade? Telegram means almost limitless possibilities for all messenger users. This helps Storm Trade go down the path of social-fi trading by adding different competition mechanics based on Telegram channels and chats, increasing brand awareness in various Telegram app centres and reducing the execution time of trade ideas for traders with their own channels. In addition to 900m potential users, it is an opportunity to be embedded in advertising integrations with preset bidding parameters. Here's how it works. For example, the author of a Telegram channel assumes that the market will go up and opens a LONG position in BTC pair with a certain stop loss and take profit. Usually, in order for someone to repeat such an entry, they need to register on the exchange, deposit funds there, find the right pair, in general, do a lot of things. Deep integration of Storm Trade in Telegram implies that having created a position, the author of the channel will be able to share it with already set parameters in his/her Telegram channel. And those who want to repeat the same entry will only be able to follow the link and enter the amount of collateral they are ready to trade with. Storm Trade - a real breakthrough in futures trading technology. The $STORM token is launching soon. Can you share more details about the token's utility and how it fits into the Storm Trade ecosystem? Launching a token is one of the most important events for every product. It is often the case that the token exists separately from the product without making a significant contribution to the ecosystem. For STORM, this approach doesn't seem close. STORM is the heart of the ecosystem, integrated into the exchange directly, and helping to increase the efficiency of the protocol economy. STORM has two very powerful utilities: staking, whose profit is made up of the protocol's fees, and a liquidity buffer, which will maintain a good APR for liquidity providers. You mentioned that only a small percentage of the total token supply will be available for sale. Can you explain the reasoning behind this decision? There are several reasons for 4% allocation to IDO. Unlike memecoins, which traditionally allocate a large volume of token for sale, STORM attracts institutional funding and does not need overfunding from retail. How do the Market Makers NFTs play a role in the token launch, and what advantages do NFT holders have? First, you have to understand what Market Makers NFT is. Market Makers is a unique, hand-drawn NFT community collection designed to be embedded in the social-fi mechanics, rewarding the best traders and activists on the platform. Ownership of NFT will provide the owner with a guaranteed spot on the whitelist for token purchases, and in the future will add discounts on trading commissions, avatars for the user profile, and many other uses. Since all NFT holders have access to the whitelist at the same time, this will serve as a great opportunity to buy STORM tokens the very first at a fixed starting price. Each NFT will have a certain allocation to the purchase amount, and the more NFTs you have in your wallet, the higher the allocation to IDO will be. After IDO, collection opportunities will only increase from reduced trading fees to VIP community membership. As a derivatives trading platform, how does Storm Trade ensure the safety and security of users' assets? It is worth remembering that Storm Trade is a DEX, where all internal work is built on smart contracts. All smart contracts are audited by several trusted organisations. Since building smart contracts on TON is quite complex, it is not easy to find auditors. Our first audit is from the TON Tech campaign. Additional audits are planned for the future. Can you elaborate on the staking mechanism and how it rewards token holders who support the platform? The staking mechanism will be quite simple. The stakeholder will have two options: to put liquidity on the Ston.Fi and introduce tokens to the market, or lock tokens in staking on Storm Trade and withdraw tokens from the market. The mechanisms will balance each other, creating a deflationary token economy. Storm Trade has partnerships with notable organizations like Gotbit, Cointelegraph, and ToncoinFund. How do these partnerships contribute to the project's development and success? All of the above partnerships help us develop in one area or another. Cointelegraph is aimed at media support, while Gotbit and ToncoinFund provide us with investment and advisory support. What are the long-term goals for Storm Trade, and how do you envision the platform evolving in the future? Storm Trade's long-term goals are to build the most exciting platform in Telegram, bringing together both experienced traders and beginners, both those who came for the spirit of competition and those who came for passive earnings. Storm Trade aims to become the most balanced place for trading with easy onboarding and amazing Social-fi products.

STORM has two very powerful utilities: staking, whose profit is made up of the protocol's fees, and a liquidity buffer, which will maintain a good APR for liquidity providers. You mentioned that only a small percentage of the total token supply will be available for sale. Can you explain the reasoning behind this decision? You mentioned that only a small percentage of the total token supply will be available for sale. Can you explain the reasoning behind this decision? There are several reasons for 4% allocation to IDO. Unlike memecoins, which traditionally allocate a large volume of token for sale, STORM attracts institutional funding and does not need overfunding from retail. How do the Market Makers NFTs play a role in the token launch, and what advantages do NFT holders have? How do the Market Makers NFTs play a role in the token launch, and what advantages do NFT holders have? First, you have to understand what Market Makers NFT is. Market Makers is a unique, hand-drawn NFT community collection designed to be embedded in the social-fi mechanics, rewarding the best traders and activists on the platform. Ownership of NFT will provide the owner with a guaranteed spot on the whitelist for token purchases, and in the future will add discounts on trading commissions, avatars for the user profile, and many other uses. Since all NFT holders have access to the whitelist at the same time, this will serve as a great opportunity to buy STORM tokens the very first at a fixed starting price. Each NFT will have a certain allocation to the purchase amount, and the more NFTs you have in your wallet, the higher the allocation to IDO will be. After IDO, collection opportunities will only increase from reduced trading fees to VIP community membership. As a derivatives trading platform, how does Storm Trade ensure the safety and security of users' assets? As a derivatives trading platform, how does Storm Trade ensure the safety and security of users' assets? It is worth remembering that Storm Trade is a DEX, where all internal work is built on smart contracts. All smart contracts are audited by several trusted organisations. Since building smart contracts on TON is quite complex, it is not easy to find auditors. Our first audit is from the TON Tech campaign. Additional audits are planned for the future. Can you elaborate on the staking mechanism and how it rewards token holders who support the platform? Can you elaborate on the staking mechanism and how it rewards token holders who support the platform? The staking mechanism will be quite simple. The stakeholder will have two options: to put liquidity on the Ston.Fi and introduce tokens to the market, or lock tokens in staking on Storm Trade and withdraw tokens from the market. The mechanisms will balance each other, creating a deflationary token economy. Storm Trade has partnerships with notable organizations like Gotbit, Cointelegraph, and ToncoinFund. How do these partnerships contribute to the project's development and success? Storm Trade has partnerships with notable organizations like Gotbit, Cointelegraph, and ToncoinFund. How do these partnerships contribute to the project's development and success? All of the above partnerships help us develop in one area or another. Cointelegraph is aimed at media support, while Gotbit and ToncoinFund provide us with investment and advisory support. What are the long-term goals for Storm Trade, and how do you envision the platform evolving in the future? What are the long-term goals for Storm Trade, and how do you envision the platform evolving in the future? Storm Trade's long-term goals are to build the most exciting platform in Telegram, bringing together both experienced traders and beginners, both those who came for the spirit of competition and those who came for passive earnings. Storm Trade aims to become the most balanced place for trading with easy onboarding and amazing Social-fi products.

The Insights We Found After Studying Black Holes

Bahamut Foundation has announced the Grants program to support the growing ecosystem of Bahamut and foster the expansion of decentralized projects and applications. This initiative provides multi-faceted support for a wide range of projects based on categories mainly revolving but not limited to DeFi, gaming, and NFTs. Bahamut Blockchain has already witnessed the successful results of the grants program with the latest launch of 3 DeFi projects - Lolik, Mutuari, and SilkSwap. These platforms have successfully passed all the qualification stages and, after an extensive development process, are now live on the Bahamut blockchain. The appearance of new DeFi projects will surely increase the scalability and adaptability of the native coin of Bahamut, FTN, and expand its usability and relevance. Mutuari is a lending protocol made for decentralized lending and borrowing of assets directly on Bahamut. Mutuari gives the users access to diverse crypto assets, including FTN, USTD, USDC, stFTN, and is accessible through all EVM-supporting non-custodial wallets, among them Fastex Wallet, Metamask, and WalletConnect. The project has been selected and successfully completed the task under the category of “Lending Protocol” with a prize of 60.000 FTN. Lolik is the next project that has received a grant from Bahamut Foundation. It is a liquid staking platform that supports staking on leading blockchains such as Bahamut, with other blockchains, including Ethereum and Polygon, coming soon. With Lolik, each user can earn rewards by participating in the validation processes of the blockchain directly with their Web3 wallet. \And the last one is the DeFi trading platform, SilkSwapthat allows users to enjoy peer-to-peer trading and easy and fast transactions. The application stays true to a pure Web3 concept, totally eliminating any third-party interactions.The application process continues, accepting more and more applications. The step-by-step description of the application process and information on preferable categories and their funding are available on Bahamut.io/grants. The process is transparent and fair, keeping it real with web3.

Cloud computing was once at the forefront of emerging data center technology. But now, it’s the backbone of digital businesses worldwide. “The cloud” is no longer just a corporate buzzword — it powers everything from mobile apps to billion-dollar enterprises. And it’s not done growing yet! Visionary leaders like Obinna Odirionye, CEO and creator of Clouddley, believe it will define the next generation of technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things. However, cloud computing also has inherent complexities that can hinder innovation. To combat this, Obinna is improving accessibility and simplicity in cloud technologies, making these tools available to more people than ever before. Cloud Computing: Powerful Tech with a High Barrier to Entry Setting up and maintaining cloud infrastructure can be quite a chore. You must have a firm understanding of networking, security protocols, resource optimization, and many other complicated concepts. Even feature-rich cloud platforms like AWS don’t exactly make it easy for a relative beginner to launch a cloud app. This means there’s a steep barrier for small companies and startups that could greatly benefit from cloud computing but lack the resources to hire trained professionals. But this is one area where these businesses can’t afford to fall behind. 85% of organizations are expected to take a cloud-first approach by 2025. 95% of all new digital workloads are predicted to be deployed on cloud-native platforms by then as well. This means even small businesses must leverage cloud technologies if they hope to keep up with the competition. That’s why Obinna aims to democratize the cloud, empowering organizations big and small to use the cloud in simple but powerful ways. Simplifying the Cloud — the Clouddley Way Ever since he was a teenager, Obinna was fascinated with “The Cloud.” As he developed his tech skills and learned the ins and outs of cloud computing, he only came to love it more. Now, he calls the cloud “the heart of the internet.” After starting his career as a DevOps engineer for Deimos, a cloud developer and security operations company, Obinna noticed how complicated cloud platforms have become. He realized just how many talents a developer has to have in order to create a smooth cloud experience, and he also learned how many ways cloud computing can go wrong. But rather than accept it as the status quo, Obinna decided to do something about it. Enter Clouddley. Clouddley is Obinna’s baby, the new kid on the block. It’s a reimagining of the cloud, a simple, cost-effective approach that any organization can use to develop robust cloud apps with a fraction of the complexity. All you have to do is connect Clouddley to your GitHub account, configure your app, and then deploy it. So, instead of having to worry about load balancing, IAM roles, policies, etc., you can let Clouddley handle it all, allowing you to focus on the code and shipping a successful product. The latest iteration of Clouddley includes a product called Triggr, a continuous deployment platform. Like the base Clouddley platform, it’s designed to simplify a developer’s work — by auto-detecting your programming language and framework, deploying to the server/VM of your choice without you having to lift a finger, it dramatically expedites the deployment workflow. As you can see, Clouddley vastly eliminates many of the complexities that come with cloud computing. It makes the process straightforward, allowing you to deploy an app without needing extensive cloud training. It’s the culmination of Obinna’s dream: democratizing the cloud and making the heart of the internet accessible to everyone. A Cloudy Future Never Looked So Bright Despite achieving his goal of simplifying the cloud, Obinna isn’t done. He’s already hard at work with version 2 of Clouddley, which aims to give users even more flexibility in how they deploy their apps. In this version, Triggr users will be able to easily add team members, deploy databases on the fly in seconds, and run LLMs like Llama 2 and Mixtral 8x22b on top of their virtual machines with OpenAI-compatible endpoints provided by Clouddley Triggr to chat with these models. After that, Obinna has plans for a Heroku alternative that vastly simplifies containerized app development. Like the Clouddley platform as a whole, his goal for the project is to reduce the barrier to entry when running a production-managed app. Despite Clouddley’s impressive capabilities, Obinna insists on offering these top-flight solutions at a fraction of what he could realistically sell them for. In his words, “If you can afford a Starbucks coffee, you can use the Clouddley platform.” As cloud computing continues to evolve, leaders like Obinna will be at the forefront. By making cloud development more accessible, Obinna is empowering a more diverse group of developers and entrepreneurs to create and implement innovative cloud-based solutions. He’s paving the way for this next generation of developers — innovators who will enjoy a more inclusive and user-friendly cloud computing environment.

Obinna Odirionye: How This Founder Is Reimagining Cloud Computing in 2024

**LONDON, United Kingdom, April 29th, 2024/Chainwire/--**An exciting new meme coin, $ROCKY, has recently debuted on the Base network. Skel.eth, the founder of MetaWin, launched the coin last weekend. Intriguingly, the coin is named after his Pomeranian, also named ROCKY. Within just 30 hours of its release, $ROCKY achieved an impressive market cap of $4.6 million, and the MetaWin team is optimistic about further growth, fueled by the enthusiastic support of the MetaWin community. "I launched it as an experiment ahead of our $MWIN token sale," said Skel.eth, the founder of MetaWin and the creative force behind $ROCKY. "It is working out pretty well so far! We've learned a lot, and it's great to see the community benefit financially. Despite my advice to cash in on their gains early, many have held onto their coins, and it's taken on a life of its own, amazing really”. Looking ahead, MetaWin plans to integrate $ROCKY into upcoming community competitions, thus enhancing its utility beyond that of a typical meme coin. These initiatives aim to cement $ROCKY's role within the community and further validate the coin's slogan: "MORE than a meme coin." With a solid foundation established by Skel.eth two years ago, MetaWin now boasts nearly 250,000 connected wallets and a seasoned team of 80 professionals specialising in Web3 technologies. This depth of expertise is expected to drive further innovation and success for $ROCKY. Users can participate in $ROCKY daily competitions for free on BASE or with an NFT purchase. According to the Metawin team, all generated revenue will be utilised to purchase more $ROCKY immediately after the competition concludes, serving as a bonus for holders.

Welcome to HackerNoon’s Writing Prompts! Would you like to take a stab at answering some of these questions? The link for the template is HERE. Over a decade ago, I founded Unity Communications with a vision to boost company growth through outstanding leadership and customer service. Today, we connect a driven global workforce with businesses looking to enhance productivity. Let me share with you a bit about our journey and the vision for our company. 1. What is your company in 2–5 words? Fuel for business scalability. 2. Why is now the time for your company to exist? Technology allows humans to do more complex tasks at the entry level position than ever before. 3. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? My team is committed and gets the little things right.   They receive feedback very well and can handle even the toughest situations. 4. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? Mixing music and DJing at major festivals. 5. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your metrics? I make the time to talk to every one of my clients on an ongoing basis and get direct feedback. 6. In a few sentences, what do you offer to whom? We provide managed and unmanaged teams that provide entry level office work for all industries.  From healthcare back office,  accounting, technical support, and high-touch CX for many brands, our proven track record can help you focus on your core products while we handle your non-core services at a very attractive ROI. 7. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? I actually get to say “no” to clients that don’t share my values 8. Where do you think your growth will be next year? Healthcare. 9. Tell us about your first paying customer and revenue expectations over the next year. ATT—a beast. Tough—but fair. We expect to grow 30 to 40 percent next year. 10. What’s your biggest threat? Cyber.  A data breach can put me out of business.  I’m also worried about volcanic activity in the Philippine islands.
