We've strategically streamlined our team from 90 to 70 members, a move designed to position us for positive cash flow given the lower cash spend. We are determined to match our fiscal commitments with our operational capabilities without compromising the quality of our work or the passion of our team."
"We've accomplished significant milestones, and we are extremely proud of our achievements," said Reinharz. "We've welcomed strong and committed individuals like Holley Hunt to our team, reflecting our dedication to expanding our expertise and capacity."
