By May 2020, more than 30,000 celebrities had joined the platform. The company peaked at 400 employees during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, when social distancing during 2020 and 2021 made the service a convenient way to send unique best wishes to friends and family; by July 2023, staff had fallen to 33 people.3
