Growing a startup to become successful is a very painful journey. I would like to help entrepreneurs who are creating businesses that help make the world happier, to enjoy a happy entrepreneurship journey as they go through the difficult stages of startup growth.
We recognised early on the impact that What3Words simple yet powerful tool could have on social and economic inclusion, enabling mail delivery, emergency response, voter registration, and even access to banking. I’m proud to have been a supporter of this great concept.
