1
00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:00.939
And we went to visit

2
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.139
MCC, Merchant Cash and Capital. For those of you that have been around long enough,

3
00:00:05.339 --> 00:00:08.300
remember MCC. They eventually changed their name to BizFi.

4
00:00:09.139 --> 00:00:11.119
And we went in, we met their leadership team.

5
00:00:11.179 --> 00:00:14.639
We met the CEO, Steve Scheinbaum, and they took us for a tour.

6
00:00:15.319 --> 00:00:18.159
Took us for a tour, amazing, beautiful office.

7
00:00:18.340 --> 00:00:20.260
I remember meeting their head of marketing,

8
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.840
and they were generating 1,000 leads a day, and I just thought that was

9
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.479
insane when I seen that, just handling 1,000 leads a day.

10
00:00:28.299 --> 00:00:29.979
I remember, I think they

11
00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:34.819
took us over to meet the sales managers, some of the members of the sales team, and

12
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.180
they had about maybe 70, possibly even 100 sales reps.

13
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:39.680
It was just an incredible operation.

14
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.860
They were funding at the time, probably about 30 million a month.

15
00:00:44.319 --> 00:00:47.799
They were also brokering about 25 to 30 million a month.

16
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.559
So it's about 60 million all in,

17
00:00:50.639 --> 00:00:53.039
and I just remember driving home that day

18
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.880
and just thinking to myself, "Wow, this is

19
00:00:56.959 --> 00:00:59.840
unbelievable." And from that day forward,

20
00:01:00.939 --> 00:01:01.299
I just

21
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.719
had the dream that I just want to build something exactly like that
