This is awesome on several levels, not the least of which is the size of their student body. Talk about an opportunity to have impact! Also, this is our first major enterprise agreement, and it’s an amazing validation of our belief that forward-thinking web companies will see the value in using our simple video messaging system to create richer, more personal connections with their customers. The Penn Foster team absolutely shares our belief that making customers feel valued and supported is, in today’s business environment, the only path to truly sustainable growth.

This agreement is also awesome because it gives us real revenues, and that’s a great milestone for any startup!
