Alfred good morning bro how's it going how's your week going so far man happy
Friday yeah happy Friday it's been a good week we're just grinding away and
you know working working on our product and, you know, every day is a step forward, right?
Yeah, nice, man.
Well, look, I think some of the people on the call here already has a decent history on your background.
But for those that will be listening to this recording or are not already aware of your background, could you please just give us a quick rundown about your background and how you
got to where you are today? Yeah, absolutely. So I'm going to start, I guess, I think the best way
to answer this question is start like back in high school, because that's when I kind of first
started building products, building businesses. My first real success was in the sneaker industry.
We built proxy companies for people. and that's when I generated my first
million dollars in revenue and that was as a 19 year old. Obviously the sneaker industry kind of
tanked after COVID and Kanye West's episode I guess you could call it and you know from there
I've kind of worked on multiple different projects in like the TikTok and UGC content space.
And I've had great success kind of building tech in that industry.
And the one thing that was constant among all these projects that I was working on is I always had a super lean team.
had a super lean team and they all be all we always had VAs um and my most recent project
And we always had VAs.
um our whole team was basically built of VAs and what ended up happening was I ended up starting
referring people um to like different VAs I'd work with because everyone wanted virtual assistance
and it ultimately like by the time I had referred like 15 different people like who needed VAs I was like wow there's actually a huge business here and a huge opportunity and
that's when we launched the VA bear agency and we had great success with that and we realized in
order to really capture this market and in order to really make an impact we need to build platform
and that was kind of the fruition of the VA Bear platform.
A couple different points on me as well. I studied media studies at Berkeley.
I'm a huge skier. And yeah, I think that pretty much sums things up.
Okay. Yeah, perfect, man. I'm telling you about the kanye man that bro always ruins everything
he got some good music but he ruins everything yeah it was it was a crazy like first kind of
industry to work in um because it was super volatile uh and you know one one tweet uh or
one drop go you know going wrong could cause a lot of damage, but it definitely was like a great kind of like learning experience, I would say. Yeah, no, that's awesome that one of your very first starts in
entrepreneurship, you're able to reach a big success like that, right? So that's amazing to
hear. You got a lot of lessons learned from that. So help us understand here. So in my past, I've
also used VAs from various tasks too, right? Whether that's helping with community management or whatever it is, right?
And so I found them to be very useful.
And I feel like, you know, you're contributing to the economy as well.
You're helping people feed their families, et cetera, right?
So it's really cool.
It's really cool.
So help me understand here, like for the people who are not familiar with VAs and this industry, what's the big vision for Bayer?
And what's the opportunity size here?
Yeah, so the VA market, it's a huge market.
It's a $30 billion market, right?
They can make more working remotely for companies based in the U.S. or, you know, Europe or wherever than they would working in their home country, you know, just like a normal like accounting job or whatever they're skilled at.
Right. We want to make basically VA Bear the number one platform for businesses to find virtual assistants, but also the platform for these people who are looking for
these job opportunities to find work. Right now, there really isn't a good platform with modern
tech that is focused solely on just like virtual assistants. Obviously, there's platforms like
Upwork and Fiverr where you can like hire VAs, but those platforms aren't like VA specific,
right? You can literally hire for anything on Fiverr and Upwork.
There's other like VA specific platforms and agencies,
but either there's kind of two problems that I personally experienced
and, you know, realize like, okay, like it's not just me
who's having these issues either.
First of all, it's an agency and they're going to charge you
like two, three K a month for a VA
and only pay that VA like $400 a month.
So you're getting totally ripped off.
You're paying way too much.
The second thing is just like not good tech.
Some of the other job or platforms look like they were built,
and they were built in like 2005,
and they have no proper infrastructure.
It's outdated.
So our goal is to build a modern solution
for the VA economy.
So on top of just having a job board
where you can basically post a job listing,
VA's apply, and then you bring them into your ops,
we actually built tech to actually manage your VA.
Because hiring a VA, that's one thing,
actually managing your VA properly,
it's a whole other ballgame.
We've built a full CRM to create projects,
assign tasks to VAs.
We have also built proprietary time tracking software.
The VA will actually download software that we built.
When they start working,
they click a start button and it tracks their time,
and it also takes screenshots of their screen.
So they aren't scrolling on X all day when they're tracking their hours,
which a lot of VAs do.
So we'll be able to basically track that to make sure
the businesses aren't being taken advantage of.
Then we also have integrated payroll.
So how the payroll works is it syncs the time tracking software.
So the VA tracks their time and then you just pay the VA out.
We have fiat payment methods enabled and there are fees with that.
Or the VA can take the bear token as the payment method and pay zero dollars in
fees and so we basically cover the fees for use of taking the token and it's
been awesome to see a lot of these actually opting into that option okay
yeah that's really good to hear because I was also wondering the same thing is
how is it different from platforms like Fiverr? I've also used platforms like Fiverr.
And if you use it, you can quickly understand exactly what you're talking about here, Alfred, is that they don't really help you manage the VAs at all.
It's more of like a la carte kind of methods where you ask for a task to deliver.
It could take a long time.
You don't really know what they're doing with their time.
And on the platform, of course, they do pay payments directly from credit cards or whatever.
But it seems like what you're building here is a big infrastructure platform that's dedicated
to managing, hiring and managing virtual assistants, tracking their times and doing
payroll. Basically, you're paying people via Web3 cryptos, right?
So that's a payment medium, payment rails that you guys are building to the platform as well.
Exactly.
So that's cool, and I think that's unique.
The time tracking is actually pretty interesting, though.
I did see the video, the demo that you guys posted.
That looks pretty cool.
So is that going to be active for all the VAs that's going to get hired going forward? interesting though, I did see the video, the demo that you guys posted. That looks pretty cool.
So is that going to be active for all the VAs that's going to get hired going forward?
Yeah. So it's already active. You as a business owner can decide whether or not you want to use it. In some cases, you might just want to hire a VA and like, hey, we're going to pay you 300
bucks a month. Don't worry about tracking your time or whatever. Every kind of situation is
different. So we don't want to structure the platform in a way where you have to go through
an exact like method of hiring a VA. We want everyone to have total freedom to just use the
platform as like the launching pad for their VA experience. Another thing I'll kind of mention on the topic of Upwork and Fiverr is those
platforms are taking 20% plus fees from VAs. So if you hire a VA to do a task and you pay them
100 bucks, they're taking $20 of that VA's pay cut, which really makes our platform and like the bear token such a more viable solution.
Because, you know, I know, you know, 500 bucks a month doesn't sound like a lot to, you know, everyone in this space.
But a good way to kind of look at it is imagine if you got 20% of your salary cut every single month of your payroll for the work that you do just from fees, right?
You get these people are getting absolutely railed and we're providing a solution to that.
Yeah, no, that's a really good point. I didn't realize the fees were that high on Fiverr.
Yeah, we didn't either until we started building. We're like, no way. Like they're charging like
almost like 25% from the, from the, on the worker side of things, which is crazy.
Yeah, so if you guys are charging only a little bit of fees on the fiat and no fees on the bear tokens,
if that's how VAs want to get paid, which is awesome because that's basically all margins go to them.
So how are you guys making money today or going forward?
Yeah, so we do make a little bit of money off the processing fees.
Right now we're at 15%, which is high, but I think it incentivizes people to use the crypto payout option rather than fiat.
Because that is fee-free.
But we're also charged a monthly subscription access to the platform.
You get a three-day free trial,
and then from there is $19 a month if you want to continue using the platform,
which is by far the cheapest solution in the VA space compared to other platforms,
which are charging well over $50 a month just to post job listings or are charging, you know, two, three K with, with an agency model. Okay. Got it. So I'm
not sure if you have the numbers in front of you or have seen it recently, or you're, you know,
more than welcome to share this later after the call, but just like high level, like how many
clients do you guys have today? And are you able to kind of share what kind of job listings that they're looking for and what type of
revenue you guys are working on today yeah absolutely so you know we launched
this platform as well as the bear token just over to 30 days ago I can speak on
like basically the last 30 days we've generated $15,000 in revenue.
Right now our clients are a little bit niche because it's a lot of kind of word to mouth and just kind of industries that our team already has connections in.
So we haven't really expanded into your, you know, standard verticals like healthcare and real estate yet.
But that is the plan, like within the next 30 to 90 days, like that is what we want to do is, you know, standard verticals like healthcare and real estate yet. But that is the plan, like within the next 30 to 90 days.
Like that is what we want to do is, you know,
get established in these verticals that spend a lot of money on VAs every single month.
Right now, about half our clients are in the like SaaS space,
SaaS space as well as we have a lot of mobile app clients.
as well as we have a lot of mobile app clients.
People who have mobile apps are using our VAs to
basically reach out to content creators and stuff like that.
That's one of the big use cases we're seeing.
We're also catering to a lot of different WAP group owners
and info product sellers.
But that's the world I live in as well as like you know the people on the team so as we slowly but surely build and feel more and more confident
in our product and putting a lot of money behind ad spend and marketing to target the
more kind of standard verticals I think the growth is just gonna be absolutely exponential
okay that's awesome uh remind me again like how much revenue in the last 15 days? I missed that part. So in the last 30 days, you've generated over $15,000 in revenue.
Ah, okay. 30 days, $15,000 revenue. Okay. That's pretty good. So if you annualize that,
you're looking at six figures and AOR, right? That's pretty good.
Yeah, absolutely. And we're just starting. We really have not
done a ton of marketing into those standard verticals, as I mentioned, which is really where the real money is. And a lot of it, too, is just like people referring, which is always like a great sign that you're doing things right if you're getting a client from someone who referred you from another client. So that's exciting to see as well.
So that's exciting to see as well.
Okay, so SixFigs ARR just starting, mostly word of mouth, no really big push on the marketing spend yet.
When do you guys plan on accelerating the marketing in Web2 or Web3?
Yeah, we're very close.
Right now we're kind of working on a, almost like a, not a redesign, but kind of a revamp of the platform, just improving things, trying to improve our conversion rate on the site, like when people, you know, visit the landing page.
But I'm expecting within the next 30 days for us to really kind of accelerate our marketing to, you know, more standard verticals, as mentioned.
Okay, cool, cool, cool.
So you guys can be pushing on marketing and are you guys going to be mostly doing UGCs
or what's your method for the marketing push?
Yeah, so we actually are building a UGC team right now.
We are going to be doing a lot of organic content through our main pages.
We hired some really good creators and then we're also going to be putting a lot of organic content, like through our main pages. We hired some really good creators, and then we're also going to be putting a lot of money behind paid ads and highly targeted ads.
We're also in the process of setting up some very large cold outreach email campaigns.
I have experience with that in the past and have had great success with that.
success with that so hopefully that will translate over to what we're doing at VA
So hopefully that will translate over to what we're doing at V8 Bear.
Bear we're gonna be sending hundreds of thousands of cold emails a month to
people who need VA's but may not know it yet yeah no that's good I think a lot
of people are unfamiliar with what VA's are and what they're capable of right
because they've never tried it before. So just like from my perspective, my background,
I started using VAs back in 2020, 2021.
It's mainly because of that last bull season in crypto
where I was doing like play to earn gamings and stuff.
So I was hiring people to play games for me
to make money for me.
And among other things, right?
And I quickly realized that their capabilities are
actually really good, where I would have to pay someone maybe five or 10x more if I were to hire
in a first world country, right? And so I was like, dude, this doesn't make sense. But I'm
actually paying them good money. They're doing really good work and i'm actually helping them pay for their families
and foods and all kind of crazy things so it's amazing yeah you know the kind of opportunities
that they have right now just with their use of internet and crypto and all that good stuff so
that's that's really cool to see man um so uh let me go back to uh the ugc for the people who aren't
familiar with what ugc is can you just kind of quickly give
them a one or two sentence explanation and why that works so well? Yeah, it's basically just
like organic social media marketing. So we're hiring real creators, not AI creators, none of
that phony stuff. We're hiring talented creators who know how to make viral videos. And they're
going to be creating really high quality content
for our main social pages,
not only just for like organic growth,
but content that we can actually run ads on,
as well as posting on their own personal pages.
We've actually already kind of started this
on the VA side of things.
We've already had multiple videos
that have generated nearly like half a million views.
I think a couple of them actually have more than that.
And that's basically how we've gotten the majority of the VAs on the platform is through
just like organic social media posts.
We have a really cool affiliate system for VAs.
Basically every VA they invite to the platform, they earn 25 cents of bear token. And it's a minimum payout
of like 100 bucks of bear token. If so, they have to basically invite 400 VAs, but all it takes is
one viral video to get, you know, five, six hundred signups. I know yesterday we paid out over $200,
I believe, of bear token to different VAs who are just like making UGC
content for us.
And this is great because not only is it promoting usage of Bear Token, but it's basically a
risk-free marketing strategy for us because we're only paying out the VAs if they're making
content that actually converts, right? So we basically have growth on the VA side things, like totally down. I think by
the end of this week, we'll have well over 10,000 VAs on the platform. So now the focus is just like
building the business side of the platform. I genuinely think we could have a million plus VAs on the platform.
There's millions of VAs out there.
So now it's just like up to us, up to our team to get the businesses to see the potential here, get the businesses on the platform, and then kind of grow from there.
Wow, dude.
10,000 VAs on a platform in about 30 days is pretty good, actually.
It's a good problem to have.
Obviously, we want to have more businesses on there so there's more job opportunities because
if you post like a job listing on V8Bare right now you're going to get like
three four hundred applicants like in a matter of like an hour which is cool
but we want to like kind of even the playing field right there has to be that like
nice balance but it's definitely like it's a great problem to have.
Got it yeah so it seems like you got a lot of supply you're just looking and whenever you're ready you're
going to push hard on the marketing to get the demand to come in right to kind of exactly and
we're really close on that um one thing about me is i'm kind of a perfectionist so i just want to
like make sure like everything is working to the highest potential um and make sure everything's
super dialed but i think we're really close so it should be just a matter of time before we start really pushing here
yeah no and i think you're doing it correctly right you don't want to force marketing when
the product is not super uh perfect yet and it's at high conversion rate right so you're trying to
make sure that the balance is right right so that way when you're ready to really push hard you're trying to make sure that the balance is right. Right. So that way, when you're ready to really push hard, you're going to have that right conversion rate.
That's going to give you that the higher ARR. So I think that's the right approach, man.
So, yeah, that sounds really good.
So what the type of jobs that the VAs do, can you help us give some like examples of some common tasks that you can hire these VAs to do.
So if we see something that makes sense to us, maybe some of us, some of the guys listening
here are project owners, founders, or they're in different groups and they multitask a lot.
And I'm sure they can use some help, right?
Whether that's VA or AIs or whatever, but help us understand some of the most common tasks
that we can leverage VA Bear for. Yeah, absolutely. Any sort of inbox social media management,
we see that a lot. So if you want your email managed, if you want your social media inbox
managed, your LinkedIn managed, your X managed, just responding to DMs, that kind of stuff, responding to comments,
making ad creatives, making designs,
writing blogs, writing emails.
We have some that make content.
Another huge thing is cold outreach.
So if you have cold outreach,
smart lead, drippy AI,
prospect AI, all these different kind of
outreach tools on social media, email, whatever.
We see a lot of that.
But it doesn't just have to be like admin tasks.
We have VA's who know how to code.
We have VA's that know how to
like file taxes and do accounting.
The options are sort of endless.
And as we get like, you know, when that
10,000 VA number goes to 100,000, I think you're really going to be able to find any sort of task
that you need done. You'll be able to find someone qualified. So, you know, whatever you need for
your business, there's definitely like a VA out there. One way I like to put it is, as a founder, you should be focusing 100% of your time
on the 20% of your business that is the most important and makes the most money.
That other 80% should be delegated. And one way to do that delegation affordably and reliably
is to hire a virtual assistant. Yeah, no, that makes a lot of sense, man. And I don't know about
for some of the
people here but like some of the things I typically need day to day is someone
to help manage the socials and obviously for businesses who are
selling something it makes sense to hire a lot of VAs to do the outreach
because that's the time-consuming thing yep you just don't have time for like
you said you want to focus on the 20% right yeah that's where they bring you
the leads and you just close the deal.
That's the goal.
Exactly.
We have a VA right now.
So I know I mentioned that we have a lot of clients on WAP.
We have a VA right now that we're paying, I believe, like $300 a month.
And his job is just reach out to WAP groups and get us calls booked.
And he's gotten us like over a dozen calls booked, and that's led to revenue.
So, you know, things like that, you're, you know, you're not only really helping someone out by giving them a job opportunity, but you can structure things in a
way where it's like a guaranteed return on your investment. Because as long as you know, like,
your offer works, and these cold outreach methods work, you just got to put someone on it,
put someone in that position and have them execute on it. Yeah. And I think like by now, I think we can all kind of tell that like you're really good
at scaling businesses efficiently. Right. And that's through the use of methods that you can
scale, whether that's AI or VAs or whatever, but you can scale your time in business. You can't do
everything by yourself. And so this is the value that comes in. And it seems like you're really, you understand the marketing aspects on products that needs to go viral,
right? So whenever you're ready to push this, I think you're going to get some really good
results in terms of new clients and customers and all that. So looking forward to all that,
man. That's pretty cool. Yeah. It's exciting stuff. Yeah, yeah. So help me understand here,
besides the marketing push
and then maybe in the next 30 days or so,
what else can we expect from the Bear team?
Any upcoming news or anything like that
to share with us?
Yeah, so right now,
what we're working on
and we're close to pushing
is the token reward system.
So both businesses and VAs are going to be able to
earn tokens by just using the platform.
So I'll give an example.
Let's say you're a virtual assistant and you get hired.
As that business assigns tasks in our dashboard,
when you complete those tasks and when you complete them on time,
or when you're tracking your time and you
log in like five hours of work,
you'll actually earn tokens.
So we're basically incentivizing people to use the platform to earn tokens.
So we're looking to push that like ASAP.
When a VA makes an account or when anyone makes account for that matter on the site,
it automatically creates a wall for them.
So this whole whole system is going to be completely automated.
So it's basically incentivizing usage of the platform. And you know what we're going to be completely automated. So it's basically incentivizing usage of the platform and you know
what we're going to do from there.
So after we finish that is we're going to
build basically the VA Bayer University for VAs.
And basically VAs will be able to enroll
and earn different certificates
and they'll enroll using the Bayer token.
So when they make an account,
for example, they'll earn some Bayer tokens.
When they apply to their first job,
they'll earn some Bayer tokens and then they can use those tokens
to basically invest back into themselves,
get certificates, earn special badges on the platform.
And then, obviously, if you're certified,
have special badges, you're going to make more money,
you're going to get more job opportunities.
So that's kind of like on the token side of things,
what we're working on.
And I'm really excited for this because, you know, it's so unique compared to what any other sort of like VA platform is doing. And I think it's honestly going to be a game changer for the VAs just to have access to, you know, quality education.
And then on the opposite side of that, you're going to have more qualified VAs if you're a business, right?
Because you're going to know these people. okay, these guys went through this training.
They know what they're doing.
They have their certificate.
And we know that education is actually good.
They're going to be able to do these tasks that we're paying access to this platform.
We want to make sure that these VAs are actually good, right?
Yeah, no, that's really good.
I'm glad that you're building that.
That's basically you're integrating a lot of token utility here, right?
Yeah.
You're gamifying a lot of these things to encourage some retention rate of the VAs.
And this is important.
And you're also upping their game and levels and skill sets as well.
So that's just actually all – it's good.
It's all flywheel stuff.
It's awesome.
So besides that that what else are
you guys doing with like the creator fees that you guys are getting today and any other token
utilities you guys working on yeah so right now um all the creator fees from believe uh we're using
30 of that and just buybacks um so if you guys can check it's all you know public right uh we're
we're buying back the token actively whenever we generate creator fees.
And basically the holdings from those buybacks will go toward like the reward system. So payouts for that, payouts for the affiliate system,
and payouts for like actual like payroll and stuff for the VAs that opt into that.
And yeah, that's, you know, we're keeping it pretty simple along those lines.
But obviously like the utility of the token is intertwined through the whole entire platform from every single step,
from making your first account with the wallet creation and then the entire user experience is intertwined with the token.
Okay, got it.
Okay, cool.
So 30% on the creative fees for the buybacks yeah and then the other 70% I'll mention is
basically just going toward marketing toward like development costs we're trying to grow our team as
well you're trying to hire paid ads expert as well to bring in a real expert to help us with that as
mentioned yeah just growing the team and marketing and growing the business is where the remainder of the fees go. And that's honestly why I love Believe so much in this entire kind of system. I'm very anti-VC,
anti-typical corporate stuff. And the fact that you can basically raise capital without having to give up equity is such a game changer.
And I think it's I truly think it's the future. But, you know, also also having like the utility intertwined into the platform.
Yeah, just super exciting stuff. Yeah. Can you nail it on the head?
I mean, that's basically why I believe launch right they really want to give instant funding and attention and
product feedback to startup builders like yourself and it's everything on web 3 is super fast it's
instant right and you're getting feedback right away and the fees that you're generating from the
volume the creator fees is really meant for you to run your operational
expenses, OpEx. That's what it's really for, put towards salary, marketing, et cetera.
And you're using some of that for rewarding the community members and VAs and users of the
platform. So that's good too. So I like that. No, that's cool, man. Okay. So we've reached a
little bit over half of the hour I want to give
the community members a chance here if anybody has any questions feel free to
raise your hand and request speaker privileges and I'll bring you up and
then we'll go from there but in the meantime while you guys are doing that
I've got some questions for the community members. And some of them have
asked, like, for example, why haven't you guys spent money or hire market makers
on the Web3 side to push it hard? Gotcha. Yeah. So what I'll say to that is our team is solely focused on product. And
we think that as the product grows, the utility of the token will grow. So our goal isn't
necessarily just to pump our token super high, which I think will ultimately be what happens
as the platform grows. I think our goal is to grow our platform, make sure that that utility is an
integral part of the platform. And with that, the token will scale, the platform will scale.
It's an entire, you know, they're both relying on each other, right? So if we only focus on the
Web3 aspect of things, I think that would be a disservice like the actual platform itself.
Because we think if we grow the platform, the Web web3 will also grow I don't know if that answers your question but it's kind of
our thoughts on that yeah no absolutely it makes sense right one of my things is
that I really don't like it when project founders spend money on web3 marketing
because I feel like it should be organic from the community if they see value in
what you're building they're going to natively buy the tokens and, you know, talk about the project to everybody they know natively.
Right. That's organic. That's free marketing.
And I think that's how Web3 founders should actually take a look at that, because if you pay for Web3 marketing, they're just going to pump and dump.
Right. So when they're done talking, when they're done getting paid, they're going to stop talking about it.
So it doesn't really add a lot of value to founders
who are looking to build long-term products like yourself.
So that makes sense.
Okay, let me see if there's another question here.
Let me see if anybody's request has come up.
I know it's a Friday in Europe.
It's actually happy hour right now for them.
I think a lot of us are actually in Europe or in Asia. They're probably partying for the weekend too, man. So,
but all good. I think they're going to get some nice clips and nuggets when they listen to this
on the recording. And let me check if there's anything in the, in the chats as well. If not,
we can go ahead and drop off do you have any uh thoughts
or question as well alfred for us for any of the community members here or any comments no i do see
um shrimp as a listener i he i believe it's a he gave some really great feedback um on the branding
of vba baron actually really got me thinking so um So he said that we need to kind of reposition our branding
to really show our offer a little bit better.
Cause in a lot of ways we kind of look like a meme token.
You know, when we first started VABaren,
we weren't necessarily planning on launching a token.
So we weren't really thinking of the implications of that.
But I just wanted to say, if anyone has feedback,
like please give it.
Cause you know, feedback like that,
that our team might oversee,
but a lot of people are thinking, like, please tell me because we definitely take all feedback into
consideration and we want this entire, this whole project, whether the actual platform or the web
three aspect of things, like we want everything to succeed to its maximum potential. So please
give feedback, please give suggestions. We're always going to listen and be open to it. So never hesitate with that for anyone in here.
Yeah, that's actually really good feedback by Shrimp.
I think some of us thought the same thing, too. I'm not sure if they mentioned it or not.
But that's good feedback that the logo might look a little bit meme-y, whereas where you're actually really trying to build a serious product here.
So perhaps some branding thoughts could be implemented there.
But that's good feedback.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I actually have another question from a community member as well.
They wanted to better understand your team size, who's involved,
what does it look like, and plans going forward.
Yeah.
So our team, in total, I would say it's probably around like eight people. It fluctuates
and it's growing. So our core team is just three people. So we have myself, we have Elias,
who's our CTO. And then we have David, who is basically like our enterprise operations manager. So he
handles all the enterprise stuff, our enterprise clients. And then we have a bunch of VAs.
We also have some contractors. We did bring on another junior developer as of lately to kind
of help with things. But the team's always actively growing. But I would say like the
core three people are me, Elias and David. And yeah, you know, we're always growing, but I would say like the core three people, um, or me, Elias and David. Um, and yeah,
you know, we're always, we're always growing. We're always bringing new people on. And then
we have a bunch of VAs doing tasks for us as well. So. Okay, perfect. All right. So you've
got three core members and then some contractors and some additional help, and you're looking to
bring on some other people too. Yeah. Yeah. And if you ever need any particular roles or et cetera,
just let us know. We're happy to help in that regards as well. Appreciate that. Yep. So, uh, let
me just, it's, it's 1040. So let me just kind of wrap things up here and kind of give a
quick summary and then Alfred, you can leave it with any lasting thoughts, et cetera. Right.
So this project VA bear, um, they're actually tackling a tackling a $30 billion TAM, right?
And so far in the last 30 days, they've pulled in $15,000 in revenue.
Their focus right now is on the product.
They want to make that really good first and high conversion
before they push organic web to marketing
that will bring in a lot more eyeballs and users into the platform.
They possibly might do that sometime in the next 30 days.
As of today, they've onboarded about 10,000 VAs.
Their goal is very ambitious to onboard over 1 million VAs, right?
And they've been working hard.
They are going to announce a token reward system to reward users of the platform.
And they are also going to build a Bayer University where VAs can level up their skill sets and also gain tokens in that perspective as well.
And the real value add here is that it's differentiated from other products such as Fiverr or Upwork because they're actually building an entire end-to-end infrastructure to manage the VAs, to help them with time tracking software, and also doing integrated payrolls as well.
So that's very unique in what VA Bear is building.
Hopefully I got everything there correctly, Alfred.
If not, feel free to correct me and feel free to leave us with any lasting comments or thoughts.
Benji, I couldn't have said it better myself.
So I think we'll wrap up on that.
That was great.
Okay, awesome. Well, cool, that. That was great. Okay.
Awesome.
Well, cool, man.
I really appreciate the time.
Thank you for that.
And we will cast you around, bro.
Have a great weekend.
Sounds good.
Thanks, everyone.
Stay safe.
Bye-bye.
Cheers. Thank you.
