You never actually explained getting the 100 people. Just that eventually you hired a user acquisition team

I have a very large network, so I thought I could acquire the first 100 within days. But the truth was different. No one wanted to be a Volunteer. They didn't understand it. I had lot of critics. But slowly we gained. Then we started tapping into our Volunteers, once we worked out the details.
Hard graft I will wager and almost always.
Hey Colin, didn't know you hang out here as well. Sounds like I'm in good company.
how did it go?
We just went past 8,000th Volunteer today
