Last year, you were a >>venture>> finalist, and this year you’ve become a winner. What did you do differently this time around?
I guess our project has matured and evolved, >> venture >> jury feedback among others helped us to refine our market entry strategy, for example, pinpointing specific challenges and obstacles we might have in the future.
