Episode Highlights:
15:50 - So, our seed round, we rounded out at $500,000, and that was at the end of 2021. So, the last year and a half has been dedicated to producing things like our beta, our MVP, and raising additional capital.
18:36 - mean, we are tackling the big, hairy elephant of data transparency, because a lot of times it's gotten a bad rap because of the way that the business is conducted, where it's just these large institutions that are stockpiling data on individuals and selling it to other organizations.That's not what we want to do. We want to be as transparent as possible and loop in people whose data it is that is lucrative and that is being sold.
23:44 - The number-one tip is start. Do it. Because I talk to a lot of entrepreneurs where it's like they have an idea, but they are really hesitant about trying to make any leaps forward with it. And you can always say what if, but at some point you have to just be able to take that step.
26:16 - There's going to be a lot of critics out there. There's going to be a lot of people who are going to laugh in your face and tell you that what you're doing is not worth your time, your energy, or your effort. But, at the end of the day, you need to be the one that can say to yourself, I believe it's worth my effort and my time, and I'm confident in what I'm doing.
