  • Builder's Courage:
    You're willing to challenge industry giants and question the status quo. You see "that's how it's always been done" as an invitation to innovate.
  • Competitive Drive:
    You're motivated by the challenge of building something that can compete with—and surpass—billion-dollar incumbents.
  • Resilience:
    You understand that disrupting established industries requires persistence, adaptability, and the ability to learn from setbacks.
