Steve...you are right about the real estate angle from the Verizon side but
there is also a critical marketing angle for them - they get to position
the brand closer to the "work lives" of their customers via a
disruptive/forward thinking company = powerful. For Grind, this partnership
offers rapid expansion with a serious technology partner - the potential is
exciting.
