## Q&A
- Q: Can this be integrated into Microsoft teams as well? Are there other use cases outside of education in the future? I.e can this be a solution for businesses and corporations as well?

We have some great new updates: University customers: We’re making progress, slowly but surely (it’s summer!), with our university customers. We’re working on a pilot with Arizona State, which may be the largest online university in the world. The guy we’re dealing with has over 100K online students in his area, and our potential revenues per student are about $1/month (conservative estimate). Another guy who’s interested in VN, and is watching this pilot, has over 300K online students. Also, it looks likely that we’ll start a pilot soon with the largest online branch of Stanford - SCPD, or the Stanford Center for Professional Development. They’re the online arm of the Engineering School. So, it really looks like we are on the path to significant revenues next year (2025). In fact, I can easily imagine us achieving cash flow breakeven next year! Chrome Extension: We’re about to launch a major revision of our Chrome Extension that works with “Manifest V3.” This is a new security requirement imposed by Google on web extensions. Besides just keeping up with a compliance requirement, this update has given us the opportunity to re-factor our extension code. Re-factoring is a great practice - kind of like spring cleaning. We continue to search for funding, so please let me know if you have any new ideas for us. Also, don’t hesitate to ask me any questions. Thanks for your support! - Mike Lanza
