We launched abgcmo.com, the thing we first came up with at the airport right before leaving the country.
- It took 10 days from idea to launch.

The schedule slipped more than we expected, and we were worried about that.
But the reaction turned out to be much bigger than we thought.
- On day one, it felt roughly half positive and half negative, which seemed like an appropriate level of response.
- Then at some point, non-tech Twitter started talking about "nuke sf," and the haters multiplied.

Growing while making haters is not exactly beautiful.
Still, we think it can be one way to win.
- Of course, we had no intention of ragebaiting anyone.
- We did not realize ABG culture was rooted that deeply.
- And since we are Asian ourselves, we did not expect it to get entangled with racism in that way.

Even so, the revenue was meaningful.
- We hit $50k ARR, not accounting for annual churn lol.
- And among ourselves, we learned something simple and almost funny: when revenue comes in, runway gets longer. Wow.

Now we are preparing for something bigger.
Before we go back to Korea in July, we want to break orbit one more time.
As the wins add up, our confidence is growing too.
Let's really do this.
