A lot of people give advice to early entrepreneurs to focus, focus, focus. And I made the mistake of being endlessly curious, trying so many different things. But I’m actually grateful for that because my knowledge base of the area has expanded significantly, and I also met a lot of people and learned so much about the nuances of the industry that I otherwise would not have known If I had started small.” – Maika (18:06) · “I think really focus on the basics of a sustainable company. You can’t raise off fluff and an idea. Make sure you have traction. Make sure the value is there. Show that people are willing to utilize your products, maybe even willing to pay. That’s even better. I think basic business things that people kind of forgot about in the last couple of years of high VC investment time. So just make sure you have a valid business idea model execution.” – Maika (31:28) Our Guest Maika is a Forbes 30 Under 30 lister and the CEO of Webacy, a company that specializes in developing tools and services to make self-custody safer and easier.
