03:03 Thank you, Annie. And thank you all for joining us here today for our Q2 earnings call, which is also our first as a public company. It is real privilege to be here with all of you on the call today. Our recent Ipo was exciting milestones for our employees. Customers, investors and partners, and I want to thank them for their confidence in us over the years. 03:29 I also like to welcome our new investors to the Similarweb family. During today's call, Jason, our CFO and I will provide details of our Q2 results as well as provide Q3 and full year guidance for twenty twenty one. 03:46 I will start today by covering highlights of our financial performance. Q2 twenty twenty one was the record quarter for us. And I'm pleased to report that our revenue increased forty nine percent year over year to thirty two point five million dollars. We are also very happy that we were able to accelerate our growth versus Q2 twenty twenty continuing our trend of accelerating growth. We also took advantage of a strong demand for our solution as companies across the globe focus on digital transformation. In Q2 we also improved our gross margin by more than two hundred fifty basis points year over year to seventy eight point five percent highlighting the scalability of our platform. Our free cash flow was negative three point three million dollars reflecting the strong fundamentals of our business even as we expanded our operations. 04:47 I want to expand further on those results also touch on a few key trends that we see as existing for our business, but first, since many of you are new to Similarweb I wanted to spend a few minutes talking about our business and market opportunity. And how we believe our offering are disrupting a traditional market and helping businesses compete and win in the digital world. 05:15 Similarweb was born out of my own personal pain. I was trying to do some market research for my offline business many years ago. But no matter what I search for, I couldn't find anyone with the insight I needed. I saw market opportunity and fourteen years later Similarweb is a leader in the market intelligence for the digital world. Today, our customers are some of largest and best brands, leaders like Walmart, Google, Publicis, Merck, DHL, and CNN and many more. A lot has changed since we wrote our first lines of code, digital has become a treasured way to communicate, transact and deliver product and services. It is an important growth driver and strategic focus for most businesses today. At the same time, it's made every market much much more competitive. In this environment businesses have no visibility into the online activity of the customer, prospects, partners and competition. In reality, they are flying blind, Similarweb cuts through the lack of visibility delivering a comprehensive view of the digital world to our customers, providing them with market data and insights to help them win in the digital world. The data and more importantly, the actionable insights that we provide and empowers our customer to be more competitive in the markets. We call this digital intelligence. 06:46 Digital intelligence is embedded in critical businesses process and give organizations the means to understand and gain insights from all relevant digital activity. It creates a powerful competitive advantage. It empower companies to make better businesses decisions, increase their confidence and help them win their market. Sometimes it can mean the difference between business success and failure. 07:14 To paint a picture of how digital intelligence can make this kind of impact I want to share a conversation we recently had with one of our customers. The head of digital marketing at Stay Sure, one of the top travel insurance company in the UK. When covid, their entire business was at risk of failure, Similarweb helped them to adapt to the new reality. With Similarweb they were able to quickly identify which market recovered the fastest from initial lockdown and focused on those opportunities. 07:47 They also used Similarweb to identify new market segments, for example, younger travelers looking to ensure against covid-nineteen risk. They were able to create new products designed for this emerging segment and use Similarweb insight to build the strategy to reach the new audience according to the company and I quote “Similarweb kept us in business”. When times are challenging, it's all about understanding what the competition is doing, where we fit in the market and what's going on in the market overall. 08:20 It's not [Indiscernible] that in Q2 we completed an upsell deal with Stay Sure increasing the ARR value of the contract by over [thirteen] (ph) percent. This example isn’t unique. Now more than ever companies need visibility into what’s happening in the digital ecosystem if they want to survive and win. 08:41 Digital transformation is accelerating, but all that investment cannot be optimized without comprehensive, accurate and timely market data that integrate into the corporate workflows. This make digital intelligence mission critical. We believe this massive opportunity and we estimate that our total addressable market today is over thirty four billion dollar. 09:09 Delivering this kind of impactful digital intelligence isn’t an easy task to do. It is extremely difficult to gather massive quantities of digital signals across the internet, each signal providing only small perspective what's going on the digital world. And it's even how they want to use those signals to build the model that are designed to measure and predict how the digital will behave. This is what we do. Just think every day, we need to estimate traffic for tens of millions of websites and [Indiscernible] in over one hundred and ninety countries and in over two hundred industries, and we need to do it really well because we know that leading companies and investors around the world will make critical business decision based on the insights we provide in our platform. 10:04 We have been working on solving this problem and creating this technology for over ten years. Over time, we invest significant resource and fund our data assets and acquisition and building a very strong competitive moats around our technology. To achieve that, we've built a unique R&D organization that operates an innovative, fast paced culture. Every month, this team deliver hundreds of innovative data and feature enhancement that improve our customer retention and increase average customer spend. 10:39 We have continued to expand this team, which now includes nearly two hundred fifty top notch developer, PhD, Data scientist and Bit Data engineers and we’re very proud of their work. 10:51 We also build a very efficient sales and marketing organization to approach and [attract](ph) this very large market opportunity. This start by attracting and engaging prospects with our widely used free tools on our website and through a popular browser extension, we provide free access to a broad range of basic capabilities as well as opportunity to explore our paid offering. 11:17 The cost effective leads from this [premium inbound] (ph) motion are efficiently converted to pipeline opportunities for our sales team to pursue. We complement this with an outbound sales motion focused on developing new opportunities with larger target accounts. 11:35 After successfully land a new customer, we also have a team of client success, go help our customers realize more value from our platform resulting in more strategic relationship and expanding revenues, This land and expand motion is working very successfully for us. 11:52 I want to turn now and discuss our Q2 performance. I would like to mention a couple of highlights and how they illustrate several of our business strategies, specifically around our land and expand sales motion, creating of new channels of indirect growth and the introduction of new products and datasets. 12:14 Let's start with our land and expand. Over the last twelve months, we accelerate new logo acquisition landing over six hundred new customers and crossing the three thousand customers logo threshold in Q2. We are building on this strong new logo acquisition by refining our motion around customer retention and growth. As an example of this, in Q2 we completed one of our largest deals in Similarweb our history with the major e-commerce company. This customer began [Indiscernible] with us in twenty sixteen starting with one use case and around fifty K in annual ARR. Today, they use Similarweb across twenty five teams globally with around fifteen hundred users, representing over three point five million dollars in ARR. Our Q2 upsell was seven figures ARR upsell with a multi-year commitment included the addition of hundreds of new users as well as an upsell of premium product feature and extended dataset. 13:20 It's also highlighting our land and expand motion in operation. Although we started small and over time we're able to expand additional user - use case department and geographies within the customer. 13:34 This land and expand motion is driving significant growth among our largest and most strategic customer segment. Those companies where we are generating more than one hundred K in ARR. We grew the number of those accounts by fifty two percent year over year. And nearly sixty percent of this growth came from existing customer, their ARR expanded to more than one hundred K. Although all our ability to retain customer and expand ARR is reflected in the highest level of NRR that we have ever recorded NRR strongly improved from one hundred and one percent in the end of twenty twenty to one hundred and six at the end Q2. In the critical customer segment of accounts with over one hundred K in ARR, we improved NRR to one hundred and eighteen percent up from one hundred and thirteen percent at the close of twenty twenty. 14:29 Beyond our direct sales motion, we continue to develop indirect sources of demand. First we recently announced the availability of Similarweb digital insight on the AWS data exchange. With the Aws data exchange, companies ranging from CPGs to hedge funds can enrich the big data analysis with digital marketing intelligence including website traffic, keywords, and digital transaction. While this did not have a material contribution to Q2 results, I believe that this partnership will broaden our customer reach and further help customer integrate Similarweb into their workflow. And in Q2, we also introduced an affiliate marketing program and partner referral program, launching two new indirect channels [for lead] (ph) opportunity creation. Also, in Q2, we launched a new solution, our shopper intelligence, which is targeted at the rapidly growing e commerce segment. Shopper intelligence analyze consumer shopping behavior across desktop and mobile and provide a comprehensive solution for understanding the digital customer journey and what consumers are buying online. Our goal is that shopper intelligence would analyze and deliver insight about digital consumer behavior across both ecommerce marketplaces and first party shopping websites. 15:58 We are off to a strong start with this new solution. We have already closed new businesses in a diverse set of industries. Not just in primary CPG audience but also in retail, pharma, technology and private equity. 16:14 I'm looking forward to giving you more details on those wins in the future. We believe that Shopper intelligence is innovative product with feature that are unique in the market and I'm super excited about it and I think we have a huge opportunity in front of us with this new offering. 16:34 In Q2, we also made significant addition to the scope of data and insights available through Similarweb platform. We completed the acquisition of the assets of SimilarTech, which we believe is one of the best provider of technographic data in the market. The acquisition enable us to more completely integrate SimilarTech’s data into our solution and opportunity to leverage their data to build some exciting new feature as well. 17:02 Separately, we recently announced a significant advancement in our capabilities in our keyword generator, which enables sales professional to find and explore keywords relevant to expanding their business. The keyword generator now include support from Youtube, the world's second largest search engine as well as Amazon where sixty percent of the product searches currently originate. Those enhancements expand our coverage by over eight hundred million keywords, extended our breadth of coverage and keyword volume accuracy. 17:37 Beyond these efforts, we continue to invest in our organizational growth and development. We continued to scale our organization to support our strong growth. Employee headcount in Q2 grow nearly sixty percent year over year. We continue our international expansion, opening up a new direct sales presence and office in Germany. Recently we also announced a new office in Reston, Virginia where we will focus on hiring sales and marketing [folks] (ph) and where we expect we will be able to tap into strong local talent in the areas of digital measurements and market research. 18:18 Finally, I’m very excited to announce that last week we closed on a new headquarter facility in the Tel Aviv area. This new building will accommodate our rapid growth, and we will be able to fully design this space to meet our needs for our growing team. Our new Similarweb headquarter is located in the [center of] (ph) Tel Aviv [metropolis] (ph) and I expect that when completed it will be significant attraction that will enable us to continue to recruit top talent here in Israel. 18:51 Finally, as we said during the IPO, we will leverage our momentum and continue to pursue both organic and inorganic growth strategies. We will invest in our sales and marketing efforts to accelerate customer acquisition because of the high ROI we get on those investments. And the big market opportunity we see. We will take advantage of our strong financial position to opportunistically target and acquire companies in order to improve and expand our data use case and addressable market. We are operating in a fragmented market and we believe we have the opportunity to be the consolidator. 19:32 Wrapping up I'm very proud of the company we have built. We have followed our twenty twenty performance with the strong and accelerating growth in the first half of twenty twenty one. We have outstanding leadership, and our team is smart, bold, fast, talented and experienced. We have a strong balance sheet. Our solution are market leading and providing timely and comprehensive data and insight that we believe our customers cannot get anywhere else. Everyday thousands of businesses rely on Similarweb solution to make mission critical decision. We believe we are recognized as the standard of the measure of the digital world, our insight are frequently referenced publicly by CEO, major publication and respected research firms. Our platform has become a required experience for job opportunities and notable skill that user highlights on LinkedIn. We are confident in our growth strategy and we have a track record of strong operational execution. It's still early in our journey and we believe we are in a great position to capitalize and capture an increased share of a very large market. And as I like to say, we are just getting started. 20:50 With that, I would like to turn the call over to Jason Schwartz, our CFO. Jason.
