{{00:00:10}}
We have a widely digital invoice

{{00:00:12}}
management solution, which can be

{{00:00:14}}
integrated into online and mobile

{{00:00:16}}
banking channels for various use

{{00:00:18}}
cases such as value SME banking

{{00:00:21}}
and integration of invoicing and

{{00:00:23}}
request to pay for corporate.

{{00:00:28}}
We designed our technology specifically

{{00:00:31}}
to be integrated into banks and payment

{{00:00:34}}
service providers, and we want to enrich

{{00:00:39}}
banking with the use of invoice data.

{{00:00:45}}
My colleagues were working on invoicing

{{00:00:49}}
solutions for a couple of years,

{{00:00:51}}
and we realized that digital invoice

{{00:00:55}}
management and structured invoice data

{{00:00:58}}
could be a huge value added for banking.

{{00:01:05}}
We are pivoting all the time.

{{00:01:07}}
We are reassessing the

{{00:01:09}}
solution I think every year.

{{00:01:11}}
And formulating the

{{00:01:14}}
new value propositions,

{{00:01:20}}
Be patient because what we experienced,

{{00:01:25}}
that the uptake of the idea that we are

{{00:01:28}}
pursuing is much slower than we expected.

{{00:01:36}}
We would do more or we would put

{{00:01:40}}
more resources to more professional

{{00:01:43}}
marketing of the company.

{{00:01:44}}
But this is also related to

{{00:01:46}}
the fact that we decided not to

{{00:01:50}}
attract capital at early stages.

{{00:01:52}}
So it's like, you know, it was

{{00:01:54}}
a decision from our side, but

{{00:01:56}}
that would have been helpful.

{{00:02:03}}
Again, I think we underestimated how slow

{{00:02:08}}
the banks are in taking up our solutions.

{{00:02:10}}
So if we knew we might have diversified

{{00:02:15}}
our, we might have diversified

{{00:02:17}}
our value proposition earlier.

{{00:02:24}}
I think it's  it's the uncertainty that

{{00:02:29}}
you are pursuing something, but you don't

{{00:02:31}}
know whether it will turn out good or

{{00:02:34}}
bad, you need to keep innovating, but you,

{{00:02:39}}
never know if you will make it or not.

{{00:02:46}}
When, a bank signs a contract, definitely.

{{00:02:49}}
And then and then when your idea

{{00:02:52}}
is is verified by the market,

{{00:03:00}}
It's the team.

{{00:03:01}}
so basically, we have a team of

{{00:03:04}}
12 people, all amazing people, and

{{00:03:07}}
essential to the operations of,

{{00:03:10}}
and the development of the company

{{00:03:16}}
In one year time, we expect that

{{00:03:19}}
we will have a couple of technology

{{00:03:22}}
partnership agreements signed with

{{00:03:24}}
large banking technology provider.

{{00:03:27}}
In three years, I would expect that

{{00:03:30}}
the banks understand the importance of

{{00:03:32}}
invoice data and the invoice in use case.

{{00:03:35}}
And in 10 years time our solution

{{00:03:38}}
will have a huge penetration globally.

pursuing is much slower than we expected.

Again, I think we underestimated how slow

the banks are in taking up our solutions.

you are pursuing something, but you don't

bad, you need to keep innovating, but you,

When, a bank signs a contract, definitely.

invoice data and the invoice in use case.
