The most significant part of our turnaround since going public was shifting our focus to making active traders happy, which led to rapid improvements in customer satisfaction.

In late 2009, we decided to publicly announce our product, which led to significant interest and media coverage.

Going public was a career highlight for me, as it represented a significant achievement after years of hard work.

We were accepted into Y Combinator, which was a significant milestone for us and changed the course of our company.

As we neared our launch, we officially became a couple and launched our company in 2015, aiming to raise a million dollars through crowdfunding.

Ten years ago, we faced significant challenges, but last year we sold our company for over a billion dollars.

Once we entered the market, we decided to raise more funds through a real outside round, seeking strategic partners to invest in our desktop product. We decided to keep our valuation stable during the funding round, despite offers from venture capitalists to increase it, because we wanted to go public without risking a down round.

Our recent financial transformation, which included addressing significant challenges, has resulted in our stock tripling in value over the past two years, demonstrating the importance of overcoming adversity.

From 2013 to 2023, we experienced a 10-year overnight success, culminating in a $650 million sale, which reflects the long journey of building a truly amazing product.
