RAOUL PAL: Hey everyone, it's that time of year again. Last year, I thought I was on the beach in Little Cayman. And today, I'm in my back garden in Grand Cayman. So, before we go into the holiday season, I always like to look ahead. I mean, we've had an incredible year at Real Vision. It's been an amazing year in markets. Obviously, the crypto markets have been one of the biggest things of the year, but also the inflation thematic and everything kept us all engaged, trying to figure out where the world was going. And that's where Real Visions real unique benefits come into play.
But as we move forward, we've got an enormous amount that's about to happen at Real Vision. We've been working really, really hard. I think our staff count, since we last spoke, has gone from 70 to 150 people and is growing exponentially as we start trying to roll out new features for Real Vision that we refer to as Real Vision 2.0. And that's moving away from just being a provider of content.
And in fact, becoming the platform of which, we can all exchange our ideas and network amongst each other. That community element, we really want to supercharge. We want to supercharge everybody's ability to connect and make connections and do things within the Real Vision world. And so, you'll see a lot on that. And really, I'm trying to get us to think that our mission of democratizing the very best financial intelligence is not just us creating content, but you guys helping each other navigate these times.
So, the exchange is something we keep iterating and improving on, but we really want to get you guys to help each other get up the knowledge base because there's so much we need to know. And if we can make Real Vision, that kind of super powerful platform, then that's an incredible thing for all of us. So, you know, feel free to ask questions in the exchange, and then give videos as answers or full PDF documents. Give people the resources they need. Help people.
If we all help each other, then we've created something magical. We can network with each as we proved in Vegas. Real Vision members are truly extraordinary people and I think the more we get to know each other and get to work together on this mission, the more powerful it is, and the more benefits we all get out of it. But there's more as well, we've been talking about building extra communities. Obviously, the crypto community has been a big one for us.
But we've also and we'll make a full announcement soon. We've also taken over a large family office network, very prestigious, been running for a long time as we build out our family office offering. There's a lot of family offices within Real Vision already. And we think we can provide an incredible platform for family offices to connect, to educate themselves, to find opportunities, and that kind of thing on a globalized basis. So, stay posted for that.
Education. We've been working extremely hard on education. Many of you have been surveyed by George who's building this product out. So, that's rolling out probably in Q2. So, we'll see a much fuller education offering that's ongoing, and it'll be part of this applied learning. You're seeing a lot of education content already on the site that George has been working hard developing with Damian's team in Real Vision Creative Studios.
Real Vision Creative Studios itself, which is our studio that works with third parties is building some incredible work for some of the world's biggest investment banks, crypto companies, asset management firms, and all sorts of others. We're creating whole channels for people. So, that's a really exciting business. So, let us know if we can help your business with that too.
Another area within business development for us is going to be the whole kind of B2B model. Enterprise sales, we know we have tremendous value in our content and that aha's value for everybody in financial markets. And so, maybe you're at an IRA, or a brokerage, or an asset management firm, or a hedge fund, then you want Real Vision for your colleagues, then let us know, see how we can do to help. We're also starting to look at what we can properly do for universities, not yet clear, but we're trying to figure it out.
So, reach out to us if you got ideas how we can scale University offering. We've got a re-work of the platform coming. Now, it'll come incrementally, but a whole new redesign. We understand our UX is pretty clunky right now. And we need to re-develop it around community making it much easier, make it a more rewarding experience. So, that's been worked really hard on with massively scaling up product and engineering.
If you know amazing engineers or product people, let us know, design, product design, UX, we're looking for all of those. So, that's a really important phase for us to get right as we integrate these worlds. We've got some huge other projects that we're working on that. I can't really disclose right now, that is all about adding complementary products to the community and to the membership tiers, building out value within those tiers.
So, not charging for different products, but just within each tier adding more and more value making the value proposition clearer and clearer and your journey of knowledge within Real Vision clearer too. So, that's all coming as well. I'm almost lost count with the amount of developments that we're working on. But they're all truly, truly extraordinary. Now, it's great that we've got in person events. We've got our virtual events. probably in Cayman towards the end of 2022. And that'll be a macro crypto festival if we can pull it off. If not, there'll be other events around the world, for sure. The blacklist has been holding events all around the world, small events, big events, but we will start scaling that up for the main business as well, along with our virtual events where we're really market leaders. So, that's really exciting.
I can't really express how much is going on. Everybody here is flat out at work. And everyone's really needs our Christmas holiday. Because I think we've had a truly extraordinary year finished with that double amazingness of the Vegas event, which was unbelievable, getting all the members together, getting all of the thought leaders in the space and showing what Real Vision is really all about. How powerful it is, and how incredible you guys all are.
And that's the thing that blew me away, as wherever is how incredible you guys are, and what of community we are and how smart everybody is. How everybody's an expert in something. This hive mind is something huge, something we're going to be keep working on, as we start rolling out a Web 3.0 initiatives as well. So, that's coming. But on top of that, we then had the crypto insiders launch, which was us staking the claim on the quality end of analysis within crypto space.
Crypto is full of noise. And we want to draw the line say, no, we stand for quality. And that was the teaming up with Delphi which has been an amazingly successful product launch where the feedback has been, again, off the scale. So, we're really excited of that. It really is part of our ethos to bring you the very best quality. I mean, reversion crypto is free, and that was part of our democratization. But we want to bring you institutional quality research at a retail price.
Yeah, it's not cheap but it's super high quality too. [?] lots to come Web 3.0, education, new platform. We're working hard on trying to get the new mobile experience up and running. We understand it's frustrating. We do listen to you. So, we are working hard to try and make that a lot better experience too. We're scaling up our staff, that's the hardest part right now, is getting a product and engineering and people on board to help us with their scaling up B2B, scaling up our studios business. So, much going on.
And really what you should see over the next 12 months is an entirely new, much more powerful, much more connective and community driven Real Vision. And that I'm really excited because the more we all get together, because it's not about me, it's not about Real Vision, it's about all of us. The more we help each other, the more powerful this community becomes and the better it is for all of us. Anyway, I'm going to leave you with that. Have a fantastic holiday season. Get some time off. Have a few rums. Enjoy some times with friends and family. Get some rest because we're right back at it in early January. Take care everyone.
As it's now tradition in these videos, I've always forgotten to do something. So, what I want to do is, I actually really want to thank the Real Vision staff. I cannot express what an amazing group of people they are. How keen they are. How hard they work. How creative they are. And how much they share our sense of mission. So, that, thank them all in the comment section below because we couldn't do it without them. This is not me. This is a huge 150 group of passionate, creative, talented, hardworking, amazing people.
And also, I just want to thank you guys, as ever. The support you show us is extraordinary. It's heartwarming. And it really helps us, the work, these long hours and try and deliver something. We do screw up. We try our hardest to get things right. It doesn't always work. But when it does, magic happens. And there is some magic that we have within Real Vision, the community between you guys and us, we feel like we're all part of the same mission.
So, let's go and change the world together. Let's do some good and just thank you. Thank you for everything you did for us. Thank you for being so passionate. Thank you for telling everybody about Real Vision and just being the amazing people you are. Take care.
