[00:08:10] Bottom-up revenue planning using strong data-driven approach. Clear tracking of progress, immediate course correction. Improves efficiency and helps hit revenue targets. 

[00:12:37] Generating demand without relying on Google Ads. 

[00:14:49] Starting with early sales, organization proved value. Next step: achieve product market fit. Seeking funding for product development and growth. Plan to focus on US market expansion.
