We aim to be conservative in our financial modeling to avoid surprises and ensure we can exceed expectations.

Our experience taught us to be conservative during optimistic times and optimistic during fearful times, ensuring we always had enough runway to survive for more than five years.

Despite market volatility, the ETF industry has managed well, and I have confidence in our strategies and the team behind me.

On the debt side, we were fortunate to have thoughtful and educated investors who were capable of understanding new assets, which helped us in our funding process.

After facing significant setbacks, we took back control from our investors and focused on learning from our mistakes to develop a better product.

We are trying to take a conservative position in our forecasts, assuming that trends will continue without any major disruptions.

We stood out to investors because we weren't like everyone else; we had a straightforward business model and were addressing a real pain point in a fragmented market dominated by big incumbents.

We were fortunate to receive donations from some of the best investors and entrepreneurs in the world, which we take seriously.

We realized that investors prefer big market potential, so we adjusted our projections to be more realistic, but it still didn't resonate with them.
