Yes, because now you're able to build a brand for yourself.

What I've been able to do right now, once you get your first investor, the rest now will start checking in.

I wouldn't say it's easy to raise money.

It's not because, again, you have to prove the case.

So I started with investors and proudly to say that last year I was able to now open my own factory machines over 40 times a day.

And yeah, it's remarkable.

So it's not easy, but there are down days where you feel like you want to give up, but you remember why you're doing this.

And as a woman, and ensuring that 70% of my workforce are women, and we always encourage, Madame, we have to keep going.

I'll say yes.

Once you receive a grant and it's able to at least give you a buffer on where you are experimenting and you were able to make losses.

So with this, you're able at least to recover quite a bit and it gives you the encouragement to continue pursuing.

I will say yes.

I will say yes, it's passion.

But I do not think when I look back five years, if I knew this was the path, I think I would have freaked out.

But because you take one step at a time, just start, I would say.
