Our app has over 350,000 new users and, with the positive feedback from Prosumer users, we see a great potential in the SMB and Enterprise space. As more and more people are finding the need to work and be productive on-the-go, we expect to tap into a $53 billion productivity market through our future offering of hopTo Work.
