Key Quotes:

  • “I wanted Obie to be in every brokerage. I wanted everybody to have us as a carrier, even if they only use this once or twice a year. At least, it'll be fast, easy. And it'll be nice, right? Some of the bigger brokerages that love to have space will use us, day in and day out. So, that's really what we focused on.” - Matthew Sutika
  • “I think just having a math background has allowed us to work in the right direction, basically from the bottom up rather than the top down. And yeah, I think that's a huge differentiator in making sure that we at least have a product that we know we can sell right out of the gate.” - Ryan Letzeiser
  • “At the end of the day, your program efficiency comes out of somebody that's kind of been there, done that. And, then you exclude the things that you don't really like about their program, and you hopefully can supplement with things that you do like from other programs to make it more comprehensive.” - Ryan Letzeiser
