John Lasseter, Ed Catmull & Steve Jobs - Pixar. The perseverance of these guys and how they defeated the industry which was insisting that their idea can never work is simply amazing. Truly an inspirational story for entrepreneurs working with unconventional mediums and in uncertain conditions.
Tell about your team dynamics
One of the best attributes of our team is that most of us have experience in all the technical aspects which go into creating a mixed- and virtual reality application while having deep proficiency in their own fields. This means that we can very easily understand each other, bounce ideas and come up with solutions to problems that arise in the process. We never want to quit learning, the reason we are here today is that we want to continuously evolve and become better at what we do.
Your key learning so far doing your startup:
Everything should be done one step at a time. If you chase two rabbits at the same time, then you won't catch either of them and the same goes for building a company. That can be something that is very easy and dangerous to forget. We have also learned that so many people are willing to help us with their knowledge and we are incredibly thankful for all the support!
What does success look like for your startup?
Goals of success are something that should be set step-by-step as well. Our current aim is to become self-sufficient and to really learn how to build a scalable business. If we are thinking in the long term then we want to do what we love and if we can change the world in the process, then that for us, is the definition of ultimate success.
