Testimonials
I joined the Cortex Hub to be an entrepreneur on 2015 January and it has been an interesting journey so far. Meeting new people with different backgrounds and work with them was amazing. Being at the Cortex Hub helped me gain a lot of experience especially in things such as presentations, research, leadership skills and so on. I have learnt so many things such as; coming up with the idea does not mean you have a business and registering a company does not mean you have an business either. When I had an idea of what my company will do, I was so sure that I have a business and forgetting that it is not for me but the people who will be using it. It’s an exchange between product and customers vise-versa.
“Think of what you want to be and go be it”
Road to becoming a successfully entrepreneur. While most people believe that building a company is tough, I’ve personally seem the coming up with and building a product that everyone wants is even tougher or maybe it’s one and the same thing I’m still confused by that.
Ideas don’t come from the sky. Nothing is more true in the pursuit of becoming a successfully entrepreneur. I’ve spent a good amount of time trying to come up with the perfect product that everyone will love and want to use. In my pursuit of this elusive idea, people all around the world were innovating at a rapid pace, I’d see new ideas from all over that world every single day.
“In entrepreneurship, you will not be judge by how great or awesome your product is, but you’ll be judged on how many people use and like your product.”
