Thanks so much for your interest and your great questions. On the revenue side, we decided to prioritize product and funnel optimization over marketing and increasing revenue. After our Glamma epiphany, we started to see really great improvements in the funnel and increases in engagement, and we added a yearly and lifetime subscription option, so now we're raising on Wefunder to hire a Marketing VP and raise marketing dollars to scale all of this good momentum.

Is ... A: Hey Marc, Thanks for thinking we're awesome. That's exactly why we donate subscriptions to all currently serving military. We know deployment is difficult for families. You're absolutely right, we've been dying to start focusing on revenue but knew we had to build a strong conversion funnel and unit economic engine first since we know from previous tests that we're really strong at the top of the funnel.
