In their words
We are a B2B model, so we work with insurance companies, corporate wellness programs, hospital networks. We're primarily US-based, not Canadian-based — we do have partners in Canada as well.
It really attributes to the fact that we didn't know we should be doing so well. We didn't know that at every single turn there was fire on both sides and we should probably fail every other Tuesday of every month. We just knew what we wanted to accomplish.
So for us, valuing time: don't take every meeting that people want to set up for you. Your time, especially as a founder, is very precious. If it doesn't help you accomplish your goals in the next six months, certainly keep that relationship warm, because it might serve you in two years.
