1
00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:03.240
So, mark, I read your tag. Go ahead and, uh, introduce yourself.

2
00:00:03.260 --> 00:00:04.640
Who are you and who are you with?

3
00:00:05.140 --> 00:00:09.720
Hey, I'm Mark Ross, c o o of Dragon. We're a process automation company.

4
00:00:10.110 --> 00:00:11.520
Just, yeah,

5
00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:15.200
So Mark, what you're doing, I is, uh,

6
00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:18.560
giving out efficiency for a lot of these companies, how to be efficient.

7
00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:22.600
So kind of walk me through what's been the highlight of your year so far for

8
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:23.433
your business?

9
00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:26.920
Yeah, absolutely. I, so we have this client we're working with right now,

10
00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:29.600
my favorite, like, I love telling people this story.

11
00:00:30.310 --> 00:00:31.880
They came to us four months ago.

12
00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:36.720
We turned on the process for them and they had about 20,000 emails in their

13
00:00:36.730 --> 00:00:39.310
inbox. I can tell you without looking right now,

14
00:00:39.370 --> 00:00:42.790
the inbox is empty and it's all machine learning.

15
00:00:43.180 --> 00:00:47.150
What we do is we don't actually like, replace any of their software.

16
00:00:47.150 --> 00:00:49.830
Like you can keep your bank statement reader or your c r M or whatever,

17
00:00:50.410 --> 00:00:54.790
but we have machine learning algorithms that open up every email and just using

18
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.150
logic, all of your, your own personal logic,

19
00:00:57.700 --> 00:01:01.030
just start breaking it apart and replying to the emails, connecting them,

20
00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:04.470
doing all sorts of logical tests and processing them virtually instantly.

21
00:01:04.770 --> 00:01:06.390
So just nothing sits there and waits.

22
00:01:07.210 --> 00:01:10.150
So what makes you guys different from other companies that do similar things?

23
00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:14.270
There is nobody who does this. It's a, it's amazing. I'll,

24
00:01:14.270 --> 00:01:17.150
I'll give you a couple examples of why it's like completely revolutionary.

25
00:01:17.570 --> 00:01:20.350
For one thing, we don't just read an email,

26
00:01:20.930 --> 00:01:25.350
we actually keep track of every single email and know what's a thread and keep

27
00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:26.910
track of the threads in the organization.

28
00:01:26.910 --> 00:01:29.950
This allows us to do some things that is unheard of in this industry.

29
00:01:30.270 --> 00:01:34.110
I know one of the biggest struggles in the industry is replying to a same

30
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:35.230
thread. So for example,

31
00:01:35.390 --> 00:01:40.310
a funder might wanna decline or approve a deal and that'll go as a new email to

32
00:01:40.350 --> 00:01:43.430
a broker and the broker's like, wait, but you're not on this email thread.

33
00:01:43.670 --> 00:01:48.150
I dunno what's going on. Because we keep track of the entire email thread.

34
00:01:48.690 --> 00:01:50.910
We actually reply to the original thread from the broker,

35
00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:54.470
which makes it much easier for them to understand it. That's just one example.

36
00:01:54.740 --> 00:01:58.630
Another one is, aside from machine learning, we use AI in our system.

37
00:01:59.210 --> 00:02:00.870
So if we have an application that comes in,

38
00:02:00.870 --> 00:02:02.350
there's some critical fields missing.

39
00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:05.030
Instead of pushing back and waiting for a response,

40
00:02:05.610 --> 00:02:09.150
our AI actually reads the web as well as everything that exists in the

41
00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:13.870
application and figures out what those missing fields are and creates a new app,

42
00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:15.790
complete application. So for example,

43
00:02:16.250 --> 00:02:20.070
you don't want to fund trucking companies and this doesn't say trucking on the

44
00:02:20.070 --> 00:02:23.630
deal. We can figure it out and automatically put in your C r m,

45
00:02:23.630 --> 00:02:25.390
decline the deal instantly. That's

46
00:02:25.390 --> 00:02:28.110
Great. That's awesome. So, I mean, you're here in San Diego.

47
00:02:28.220 --> 00:02:30.750
Kind of walk me through how is this gonna help your business?

48
00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:32.810
Yeah, so we start, we,

49
00:02:32.870 --> 00:02:37.230
we basically just turned it on and we're looking to bring on additional clients

50
00:02:38.050 --> 00:02:40.310
and just start piping 'em together. We're gonna use,

51
00:02:40.310 --> 00:02:42.950
there's a lot we offer aside from the pre-processing.

52
00:02:43.130 --> 00:02:47.630
We have this whole pro post-processing thing. We do tools, ISO portals,

53
00:02:47.630 --> 00:02:50.070
all sorts of goodies. But we'd like to get people,

54
00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:54.830
just give them a taste of what it means to save a ton of money on processing.

55
00:02:54.860 --> 00:02:56.870
Like this client I was telling you about the empty inbox,

56
00:02:56.980 --> 00:03:00.000
they're gonna save almost a half a million dollars a year in overhead.

57
00:03:00.590 --> 00:03:03.880
Just like by the fact that they just don't have to deal with processing at all.

58
00:03:04.230 --> 00:03:05.600
It's all completely automated.

59
00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:07.320
We just wanna give people a taste of that right now.

60
00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:10.600
So if people are interested in, in reaching out to, to use you guys,

61
00:03:10.820 --> 00:03:11.800
how do they reach out to you?

62
00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:16.560
Dragon.io, d r a, goodness, I have to look at this thing now.

63
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.600
D R A G I n.io. Click book now. You'll get a demo 15 minute demo.

64
00:03:21.990 --> 00:03:25.600
It's mainly talking to you and asking you about your company, what you work,

65
00:03:25.670 --> 00:03:27.120
what you do, how your process works,

66
00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:29.560
and then we can help you just automate the whole thing.

67
00:03:29.790 --> 00:03:31.840
Awesome. Well thanks so much Mark. Appreciate it.

68
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.280
And you're also speaking if I'm not mistaken, right? I am.

69
00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:36.680
So kind of walk me through that before, before I let you go.

70
00:03:37.110 --> 00:03:39.920
Yeah, it's gonna be fun. I'm gonna talk a little bit about my background.

71
00:03:39.980 --> 00:03:43.400
I'm a financial engineer by trade, worked in Wall Street for a bunch of time,

72
00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:46.960
and I'm gonna talk through how the process is so arduous right now.

73
00:03:47.230 --> 00:03:49.320
Even with all these great automation tools,

74
00:03:49.390 --> 00:03:52.400
it's still a bit of a pain to get through and we're just eliminating all the

75
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.160
pain points. We're the chiropractors of the M C A industry. Awesome. And all,

76
00:03:57.220 --> 00:03:58.680
all small business funding quite frankly.

77
00:03:58.910 --> 00:04:01.040
Awesome. Well thanks so much Mark. Appreciate it.

78
00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:04.360
And we'll definitely give people a sneak peek of your chat, uh,

79
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.760
when you start getting on the stage. So amazing. Awesome.

80
00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:09.680
We'll go ahead and enjoy the rest of the show. I appreciate it again.

81
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.920
So that was Matt, uh, mark with Dragon. Uh, again,

82
00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:16.760
so we've seen different people that we've talked to, different people. You know,

83
00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:20.640
he kind of spoke more on the computer, the the AI side of things.

84
00:04:20.640 --> 00:04:24.960
And we also spoke with Ricky and she kind of walked us through how she is

85
00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:27.960
expanding her business, what, uh, things you should do to expand your business.

86
00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:31.520
We spoke with Sean and Sean walked us through, uh, you know,

87
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:35.520
the opening statements, what people could expect, you know, what people are,

88
00:04:35.580 --> 00:04:40.040
are, should be ready, uh, to, um, to hear when they're here,

89
00:04:40.420 --> 00:04:44.880
uh, at a broker, uh, de bank to connect San Diego. So again,

90
00:04:45.020 --> 00:04:48.200

91
00:04:48.200 --> 00:04:50.960
