Speechless. Nearly a decade after our journey began we are thrilled to finish this chapter and begin a new one. Earlier this week we announced that we have surpassed 2M units on the Knock platform. A nearly unachievable result by the standards of our industry. I'm equally as proud of what we have accomplished as I am excited about what we are going to be able to achieve in the coming months and years with our new partners. To my customers - You are our everything and you will all receive a love letter from me in a few hours. You are our product managers, our mentors, our inspiration, and our secret weapon. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you for giving me and my team the opportunity to serve you and grow from it. To my team (current and former folks) - I can never repay nor find the words to express how much it means to me that you all took a chance on us and worked so hard on behalf of our customers. To our competitors - Run & hide To our investors - Without you we would never have been able to build incredible products, learn how to serve our customers, and launch the careers of countless Knockstars. To our family and friends - You have been there every step of the way. Thank you for the example you have shown me. With love, DT
