Guys, I am packing. Ooh, because I'm going to Israel in 3 hours, my plane leaves. So what I'm doing is I'm packing this. Completely forgot to do my laundry, so literally all of my clothes are dirty and I just like had a bunch of random stuff in my book bag. But I am packing this little bag right here. Usually I only go with, with just a book bag, but I decided I'm gonna be crazy. I'm I'm gonna bring 2 bags. So I'm gonna bring a book bag, this book bag right here. It's gonna have my laptop and everything else in it.
And then I'm gonna bring a little bag right here with some clothes in it.
And the other reason I'm bringing 2 bags, by the way, is because I have to bring all my vlogging equipment. So I'm bringing all my vlogging equipment plus I'm bringing like my computer and my charger and everything like that because I'm gonna be working remote from Israel. So wanted to give you guys a quick look and then we're gonna be at the airport. So I'm going to time travel right now to the airport. Ready, set, go! All right guys, ho, whoa, whoa, whoa, we just— we were supposed to go to the airport, we went all the way to Israel. Now we're in Tel Aviv. Lavie, but look at this, absolutely gorgeous. Gonna be here for the next 7 days, but that was a really good time travel. We didn't even have to go to the airport, so we'll see you guys in a little bit. Look at that. Kane, I'm getting you that B-roll, bro. No, no, no, just like a fresh mango. Yeah, maybe a fork. Here. Is that a phone wagon train? In Israel? Wow. It's kind of cool. It's like you just take these like shots and then you can just like slow them down or put them as transitions against like music and stuff. All right, we are out on a Monday evening stroll.
So while Ryan's I'm walking around Israel. Uh, Kane and I are back here at the offices still on our journey to $25K by the end of Techstars. I'm busy dealing with a lot of stuff Ryan usually does, talking to customers, helping customers get set up, still doing that as well, but I got more of it to do than I did before. I'm also going to all of the like Techstars meetings, giving them updates on what's going on with the company and whatnot. We are now at $7,409 in MRR. 7 active customers. Hope you guys are working hard, being wagoners, being pioneers. Isn't that how it goes?
There's 36 days left in Techstars.
There's 36 days left in Techstars.
Evening stroll, it's sunset right here in this little square. So this used to be a jail. It's actually like the Setai Hotel. Oh my God, look at this. Sick, am I right?
Wow, it's working!
