QUOTES

Simon: “Our main product is something that's basically organically developed in a scientific setting. This is just a bunch of functions that we've coded as a group for specific tasks. But along the line, we've sort of started just thinking a bit further.”

Simon: “When you move from having a prototype, into actually turning it into a business, just having the product isn't enough. You still have so much work to do.”

Rob: “Most times we shouldn't be looking for validation, we should be looking for opposition, right? Because it's within those opposition when people disagree or have opposition to it. It means they're asking questions.”

Simon: “I want everyone involved in customer relationships as well. I mean, we have a lot of talent in the company. So it just makes sense that I want them to be visible in that.”

Rob: “You have to be adaptable, and you have to listen to the market and be okay with making changes and taking some big risks.”

Simon: “The name Hero Imaging hints at the fact that there's a lot of heroes out there working with science.”

Simon: “I am usually very good at systematic thinking. I'm rarely a specialist in any context, but I do have a knack for piecing a lot of information together to find a way forward.”
