[Michael Houck]: Hey Tamerlan, what’s up, man? How you doing? Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Very good. This is it. [UNKNOWN_SPEAKER]: Hi, hat. [Michael Houck]: Hey, how you doing? Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Nice hat. Very good. Thank you. But I want to tell you that I am not a person with socks. [Michael Houck]: Sorry, I can’t hear you that well. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Hello? Can you hear me? [Michael Houck]: Yeah, I can hear you, but everything’s kind of muffled. [UNKNOWN_SPEAKER]: It’s weird. How about now? Yeah, that’s better. Yeah. Okay. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: I was going to tell you, unfortunately, I’m not the Read Assistant fan. That’s all right. [Michael Houck]: My dad is a huge Read Assistant fan, so I always followed the team as a kid. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: I’m from Kazakhstan. My first job was in Boston. I just thought it’s a symbol of Boston. I bought a hat. [Michael Houck]: I’m not a fan. [UNKNOWN_SPEAKER]: No worries, man. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Nice to meet you in person, but virtually. Yeah. Good to chat, man. [Michael Houck]: Thanks for reaching out and happy to help in any way. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Yeah. For some reason, I couldn’t get this meeting on my laptop in Zoom. If you are okay. I wanted to basically go over, I submitted the pitch deck when you guys were like intaking in November. Yeah. And my, basically my main question was like, it’s fine if like, it’s not something that you liked. I just wanted to make sure that I’m just communicating the, like the idea and the concepts in the correct way so people get the idea of what is it about. Basically, I’m trying to understand if I’m communicating well in the pitch deck. Got it. [Michael Houck]: Okay, so do you want me to take a look at the deck? Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Yeah, I can share the screen or… [Michael Houck]: I have it here in our database here. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Oh, okay, okay, okay. [Michael Houck]: Oh, actually, I don’t have access to it. I’m going to request access to it. I think that’s probably why it didn’t get sent out because the deck was private by default. Okay. Basically, the way our process works is that I have, we get a lot of submissions. So I have my chief of staff sort of look through all of them. And he flags like a lot of them to me. And then I kind of select which ones we’re going to send out to investors that month. When we do when we do this, we don’t do it every month. And so if the deck link is private, then he doesn’t have enough information to pass it on to me. So I probably didn’t even get a chance to review it. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: So yeah, that’s why I figured like I would like reach out because I was I was thinking, oh, OK, it didn’t get picked, you know? [Michael Houck]: Yeah. Well, I think it’s just because of the deck link, because it’s private. So, I just requested access to it. If you want, what we can do is, I’ll take a look this weekend, and then maybe we chat, we do this call next week, and I can give some more thoughtful feedback on it, and I’ll let you know what we’re gonna do. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: We can do that. So, yeah, you’ll take a bit more time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we don’t waste time looking over right now. Yeah, we can do that. [Michael Houck]: I’m not going to be able to give you my best feedback unless I see a few minutes and let it marinate. So I want to make sure I give you the good stuff. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Yeah, yeah. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Just like take a look and be like, I don’t understand this part. What do you mean here? Like, I just want to be like as clear as possible because to me, you know, since I wrote it to me, it seems like this is perfect. Yeah. [Michael Houck]: Always good to get a second set of eyes. So I’m happy to help out there. But yeah. Just give me access, I just requested it, and then we’ll find a time next week to chat. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Yeah, just before you go, I did give you access, I think. Were you able to see it? [Michael Houck]: Let me look, I’ll put it in now. Yes, I’m in there now. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Okay, got it, got it. Okay, then I just looked over the link for the office hours. It still says there’s no spots. Would you send me a link? [Michael Houck]: Yeah, we can meet anytime. We can just book a time now. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Do you know your calendar for next week? Just a sec. Just a second. Yeah, can we do actually same time, same day actually, Wednesday? I can do Wednesday anytime because I have meetings on Monday and Tuesday. [Michael Houck]: Yeah, excuse me. Can you do Wednesday at 11.45 a.m. Eastern time? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: I also, I wasn’t sure, like in the email you said, can we do meeting a bit later? And you said 11.45, but the meeting was like scheduled at 1.45 p.m. Eastern. And you said Eastern in both stands. So do you, me, Eastern, Eastern? [Michael Houck]: No, sorry about that. I’m traveling right now. So I probably got the time zones wrong, but for next week, 1145 AM Eastern will definitely work. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I’m in Eastern. [Michael Houck]: Okay. 1145. Okay. Sorry about that, man. It’s okay. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: I was like, what kind of Eastern he means? [Michael Houck]: I’m really, really far Eastern. Yeah. Got it. Got it. Cool. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Well, we’ll chat next week then. [Michael Houck]: Okay. Okay. Thank you so much. Tamerlan Yeleussizov: Thank you. I really appreciate the help. No problem, man. [Michael Houck]: Talk to you then.
