What inspired you to become an entrepreneur and start your own business?
My entrepreneurial journey began in the 11th grade, fueled by a potent mix of passion and curiosity. Despite facing consistent criticism for my academic struggles and doubts about my capabilities, I harnessed these challenges as powerful motivators. The desire to create a meaningful impact and prove my potential pushed me to step into the world of entrepreneurship.
What was your biggest challenge as a startup founder, and how did you overcome it?
My biggest challenge as a startup founder was my lack of business and tech experience, especially when starting a tech-focused company at just 20 years old. I embraced a learning mindset to overcome this, turning mistakes into growth opportunities. Google and YouTube became my go-to resources.

If your startup was a fictional character, what would it be and why?
If my startup were a fictional character, it would be Ted from 'How I Met Your Mother.'

We share Ted's hope for fresh ideas, optimism for future growth, and a commitment to providing the best for our customers.
