Let's say you're able to stop that younger Felipe and give that younger Felipe a advice, one piece of advice before launching a business. What would that be and why given what you know now? I mean, the first one is go all in. You cannot do successful entrepreneurship just dipping your toes and then working some place else and then just like I'm going to try to do this halfway. I think you have to go all in. I think two find a great partner. I don't know how people like solo founders do it. I wouldn't be able to do that and then with my partner Felipe Jaramillo, we have very great complementary skills and then that's made a world of of difference. Um and then probably the last one which I think people always hear about is just listen to the pain, right? I I I like that quote that most startups fail because their solutions seeking or in search of a problem and not the other way around. For
us from day one and then we were lucky that this happened this way. We we found a problem that was palpable that was painful enough for doctors and patients and then that was big enough, right? We're talking about healthcare, probably the largest economic sector in in every country. So, we were lucky in that sense. Um I would say those those were were would be my three points of advice.
