EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO ENTREPRENEURS JOURNEY WITH SCORE.I AM ANDREW DK, FOUNDER AND CEO OF BBU AND CLINIC DIAGNOSTICS.
AT BBU, WE HELP ENTREPRENEURS, STARTUPS, AND SMALL BUSINESS BUILD, GROW, AND SCALE SUCCESSFUL VENTURES THROUGH STRATEGIC CONSULTING, BUSINESS PLANNING, AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT.
I ALSO SERVE AS THE CHAIR OF CENTRAL AREA FOR SCHOOL HOUSTON, WHERE I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF MENTORING BUSINESS OWNERS, CONNECTING THEM WITH RESOURCES, EXPERTS, AND NETWORKS, THE NEED TO SUCCEED.
MY BACKGROUND SPANS HEALTHCARE, BUSINESS STRATEGY, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION.
THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, I HAVE WORKED WITH STARTUPS, TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES, HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, AND EMERGING ENTREPRENEURS TO DEVELOP GROWTH STRATEGIES, SECURE FUNDING, IMPROVE OPERATIONS, AND NAVIGATE COMPLEX BUSINESS CHALLENGES.
TODAY WE ARE EXPLORING HOW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS TRANSFORMING BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND ACCELERATING SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
WITH ME TODAY IS YUN ZINC FOUNDER AND CEO OF BIO MATE.AI, AN INNOVATIVE COMPANY LEVERAGING AI TO ACCELERATE BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, DRUG DISCOVERY, AND BIOTECHNOLOGY INNOVATION.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME HERE, ANDREW.
SO, TODAY, TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHAT LED YOU TO START THIS COMPANY.
UH, I'VE BEEN WORKING IN THE BACKGROUND OF BIOINFORMATICS FOR MORE THAN DECADE, AND, UH, BEFORE STARTING BIO MATE, I ACTUALLY WORKED EXACTLY, UH, THE SAME TYPE OF WORK OUR USERS DO, AND I KEEP RUNNING INTO THE SAME WALL, UH, INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE, CONFIGURING THE ENVIRONMENT, AND UH, WRITING CUSTOM CODE AND, UH, SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THE REAL SCIENCE COULD EVEN START.
SO THIS IS A VERY FRUSTRATED AND THIS IS WHAT LED TO THE BOWEL MATE, AND THIS IS WHAT'S LED TO SCORE TWO.
SO, UH, BY THE TIME THE PLATFORM WAS TECHNOLOGY READY, UH, I REALIZED THAT I WAS SCIENTIST, THAT I, RUNNING A COMPANY, THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SKILL SETS, AND MY COLLEAGUE MENTIONED TO ME, UH, FOR SCORE AND, UH, IT'S A FREE SERVICE FROM EXPERIENCED, UH, BUSINESS PEOPLE.
SO, TURNED OUT, UH, IT TURNED OUT THAT, UM, REACHING OUT TO SCORE IS ONE OF THE BEST EARLIEST DECISION I'VE MADE.
SO FOR VIEWERS WHO MAY NOT HAVE A SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND, HOW WILL YOU DESCRIBE BIOMED AI IN A SIMPLE TERM? WELL, UH, SO SIMPLY IT'S A AI DATA ANALYSIS PLATFORM FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND APPLICATION.
AND THE, THE PATENT IS SIMPLE.
THE USER WILL JUST INPUT A PLAIN LANGUAGE REQUEST, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, ANALYZE MY GENE SEQUENCE DATA AND, UH, FIND THE DIFFERENTIALLY EXPRESSED GENES BETWEEN TWO CONDITIONS AND BIO MATE HANDLES EVERYTHING, UH, AFTER THAT.
SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS, THERE ARE TOO MANY AI TOOLS ON THE MARKET TODAY.
WHAT MAKES BIO MA UNIQUE? THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION.
SO, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SO MANY OPEN DOMAIN LANGUAGE MODELS AND THEY CAN TALK ABOUT SCIENCE, BUT THEY CANNOT RUN AN ACTUAL ANALYSIS CORRECTLY.
SO, BUT BIO MADE IS BUILT ON, UH, OVER TWO, OVER 4,000 PIPELINES, UH, THAT ARE AFFECTED BY PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND THE QUALITY CONTROL STANDARDS.
AND, UH, THOSE CORRECTNESS ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE BIOMEDICAL DOMAIN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DECISIONS NEED TO MADE FOR DRUG DEVELOPMENT AND FOR PATIENT CARE.
AND SO THAT'S, UH, THIS IS ONE MAIN POINT AND ANOTHER IS BIO MADE CAN SPEED UP
[00:05:01]
THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF SCIENCE OVER AROUND 90% OF THE TIME BASED ON OUR PILOT STUDY.AND CURRENTLY ABOUT MADE IS ALSO UNDER DEVELOPMENT, UH, AND IMPROVEMENT BASED ON EARLY FEEDBACK OF OUR USERS IN THE USA AND ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
SO FOR, FOR, FOR THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS, SO WHO ARE YOUR PRIMARY CUSTOMERS AND WHAT EXACTLY, UM, THE PROBLEM THAT YOU'RE HELPING THEM TO SOLVE? WELL, THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF, UH, USERS.
ONE IS INDIVIDUAL USERS THAT, UH, ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS FROM LABS THAT THEY GENERATE DATA, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THAT DEDICATED COMPUTATIONAL EXPERT TO HELP THEM OUT.
AND THEY ARE ALSO, UH, MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTERS AND, UH, BIOTECH STARTUPS, UH, AND PHARMACEUTICAL AND CRO COMPANIES WHO ALSO WANT TO DO LARGE SCALE BIOLOGICAL DISCOVERY ANALYSIS.
AND UH, UH, SPECIFICALLY HOUSTON IS A VERY GOOD MARKET FOR ALL OF THEM BECAUSE WE HAVE THE TEXAS MEDICAL CENTER RIGHT HERE, UM, AND IT IS THE LARGEST, UH, MEDICAL COMPLEX IN THE WORLD.
THAT'S CORRECT, THAT'S CORRECT.
AND THEN, IS THIS PLATFORM READY FOR USE NOW? AND THEN HOW CAN WE, HOW CAN THE RESEARCHERS GET STARTED? ALRIGHT.
IT IS LIVE@BIOMED.AI AND UH, IT ACTUALLY STARTS WITH A FREE, FREE TIER FOR INDIVIDUAL USERS AND ALSO WITH ENTERPRISE AND PROFESSIONAL TIERS FOR INSTITUTIONS AND COMPANIES.
AND WE COVER 36 SCIENTIFIC DOMAINS FROM GENOMICS TO, UH, PROTEIN STRUCTURE ANALYSIS TO DRUG DISCOVERY AND MORE.
AND EACH OF THEM WITH, UH, HIGH QUALIFIED, UH, UH, QUALITY CONTROL STANDARDS AND TO GUARANTEE THE OUTCOME IS SCIENTIFICALLY I, UH, DEFENSIBLE.
UM, AND, UH, AS I MENTIONED, IT IS STILL UNDER, UH, EVOLVING AND KEEPING IMPROVED WITH FEEDBACKS FROM USERS.
WE WILL BE BACK WITH MORE AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.

WELCOME BACK.WE ARE PLEASED TO WELCOME DAHLIA CUMMINS, A DEDICATED SCHOOL MENTOR AND ADVOCATE FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP WHO CONTINUES TO EMPOWER SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS THROUGH MENTORSHIP, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
AND ALSO THANK YOU YUN FOR JOINING US TOO.
SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS FOR VIEWERS WHO MAY HAVE NOT SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND, HOW WILL YOU DESCRIBE BIOMED AI? I'M GLAD TO EXPLAIN IT.
SO, UH, BIOME AI AND THE HOOD IS A HYBRID AI SYSTEM.
UH, LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL WILL INTERPRET THE INTENT FIRST, AND THEN THE DOMAIN SPECIFIC AGENTS WILL TAKE OVER AND EACH OF THE DOMAIN SPECIFIC AGENT IS GOOD AT A SPECIFIC AREA OF THE BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE.
AND THOSE AGENTS WILL DO ORCHESTRATION AND RUN ANALYSIS IN PARALLEL ON CLOUD.
THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY SELECT THE VALIDATED RIGHT SCIENTIFIC WORKFLOW FROM OUR LIBRARY OF OVER 4,000 PIPELINES.
EACH IS TIED TO A PUBLIC RESEARCH AND THEY WILL ALSO AUTOMATICALLY SELECT THE VISUALIZATION TOOL FOR THE OUTPUT RESULTS.
FOR EXAMPLE, A VOLCANO PLOT FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL EXPRESSION AND A 3D RE INSTRUCTION RECONSTRUCTION REVIEWER FOR THE STRUCTURAL DATA.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANTLY IS THAT WE WILL DO QUALITY CONTROL FOR EACH STEP OF THE PROCESS SO THAT TO PREVENT ERRORS BEFORE THEY REACH YOU.
AND THE, UH, MOST MEASURE OF THIS HYBRID STRUCTURE IS THE CORRECTNESS, WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR THE BIOMEDICAL DOMAIN BECAUSE THE LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL, UH, THEY MAY BE GOOD AT INTERPRET THE INTENT, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOOD AT THE BIOMEDICAL KNOWLEDGE.
AND THE DOMAIN INTERNAL MODELS WE HAVE, THEY ACTUALLY HOLD THE EVIDENCE BASE, THE CONSTRAINED PARAMETERS, THE UH, METHODS OF THE PROCESS AND THE THRESHOLD OF QUALITY CONTROLS.
THOSE ARE THE, UH, MOST IMPORTANT THING BEHIND THE SCENE.
AND THAT ACTUALLY HELPS THE RESULTS TO BE DEFENSIBLE AND, UH, VERSUS REPRODUCIBILITY, UH, FOR THE SCIENCE.
SO FOR THE DATA CONTROL AND ALSO HELPING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CUSTOMER'S CONFIDENTIALITY IS BEING PROTECTED.
SO HOW DOES BIOMED AI ACCOMMODATE THAT? WOW, THANKS FOR THIS QUESTION.
SO, UH, TO SECURE USER DATA, ONE IMPORTANT THING IS WE NEVER USE THE USER'S DATA FOR INTERNAL TRAINING.
AND THE PLATFORM IS, UH, ALIGNED TO DIFFERENT DATA SECURITY COMPLIANCE SUCH AS HIPAA AND SOC TWO, UH, SO THAT THE, ALL THE, UH, USER'S DATA, WHETHER IT'S PATIENT OR COMMERCIAL BIOLOGICAL DATA, THEY ARE WELL SECURED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HIGHLIGHTING THAT.
DALIA, I KNOW YOU FROM SCHOOL AND I KNOW YOU THE CHAIR FOR EDUCATION.
SO MY NEXT QUESTION TO YOU IS, HOW CAN MENTORSHIP AND EDUCATION HELP ENTREPRENEURSHIP AVOID MISTAKES AND ALSO SLOW GROWTH? UM, I THINK AT LEAST WHAT HAS STOOD OUT ABOUT THIS STORY AND WHAT PEOPLE CAN LEARN FROM JOURNEYS LIKE YUNS IS, AND A BUSINESS DOES NOT BECOME SUCCESSFUL JUST BASED ON AN IDEA ALONE.
IT DOES REQUIRE THE ABILITY TO BE FLUID AND TO LEARN AND TO SEEK OUT AREAS THAT WILL SUPPORT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE GROWING.
AND SO I THINK A LOT OF TIMES ENTREPRENEURS DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND SO THAT IS WHAT MAKES MENTORSHIP AND EDUCATION FROM SCORE LIKE JUST SO POWERFUL BECAUSE NOT ONLY CAN YOU ACCESS EDUCATION, YOU CAN ACCESS MENTORSHIP, YOU CAN GET GUIDANCE FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE IT BEFORE.
AND SO THAT WAY YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES THEY MADE, THEY CAN TAKE THEIR JOURNEY AND GIVE IT TO YOU.
AND SO I ALWAYS JUST TELL ENTREPRENEURS TO CONTINUE TO LEARN, TO CONTINUE TO BE ADAPTABLE.
DON'T JUST USE TECHNOLOGY, EXCUSE ME, AS THE END, BUT JUST, BUT USE IT TO HELP ACCELERATE THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE ALREADY BUILDING BUILT.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE THAT THAT YAUN HAS DONE IN HER ACTUAL PROCESS.
SHE SAW A PROBLEM, SHE CREATED A SOLUTION, BUT SHE SOUGHT MENTORSHIP.
SHE, I'M SURE, TWEAKED, REVAMPED, YOU KNOW, SHE LEARNED FROM THE JOURNEY AND THEN SHE EXECUTED.
[00:15:01]
I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT JUST CLEAN STEPS THAT AN ENTREPRENEUR CAN TAKE IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL.AND I KNOW SCORE, WE HAVE THE RESOURCES ON OUR WEBPAGE, RIGHT, EXACTLY.
SO WHERE THEY CAN ASSESS ALL THIS.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, DALIA ALSO, YEAH, YOU, THE NEXT QUESTION FOR YOU IS FOR, FOR THE, FOR SCORE.
HOW DID YOU FIRST CONNECT WITH SCORE AND WHAT PROMPT YOU TO CONNECT WITH SCORE? OKAY.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THAT I SINCERELY ECHO WITH WHAT DALIA JUST SAID, AND I REALLY WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRADE, UH, OPERATION TO SCORE.
SO AT THE VERY BEGINNING, AS I UH MENTIONED, UH, THE MOMENT IS, UH, VERY CRITICAL.
BUT, UH, I REALIZED THAT I ACTUALLY, UH, WAS A SCIENTIST TRYING TO BUILD A COMPANY.
SO THE, THE SKILL SETS DOES NOT MATCH.
AND, UH, UH, SCORE, UM, MATCHED ME TO ANDREW.
AND, UH, THE, IN THE, FROM THE FIRST SESSION, I REALIZED THAT IT IS VERY CLEAR, UH, IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE ADVISORS I COULD GET FROM MY COLLEAGUES OR FRIENDS.
SO, UH, 'CAUSE ANDREW HAS GONE THROUGH THE COMPANY BUILDING AND UH, HE CAN TALK TO ME, UH, POINT OUT, UH, THIS PART IS WORKING AND THIS IS NOT, AND HIS WHY WITH, UH, REAL AUTHORITY.
AND THIS IS, UM, A COMBINATION BETWEEN EXPERIENCE AND, UH, UH, HONESTY.
AND THIS IS A VERY RARE, UH, ETHNICITY.
SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT MY CORE SKILLS IS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING TO YOUR COMPANY? RIGHT.
I DO APPRECIATE IT AND THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING THAT AS WELL.
SO MY LAST QUESTION TO YOU, YIAN, IS THAT, HOW DID CORE HELP YOU TRANSITION FROM BEING A SCIENTIST TO BECOMING A BUSINESS FOUNDER? WELL, THIS IS A BIG QUESTION.
UH, SO, UH, I THINK WE CAN START FROM SOME EXAMPLES OF THE BUSINESS SKILL I LEARNED, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, THE MARKETING SKILL.
SO, UH, UH, AS A RESEARCHER, I ACTUALLY, UH, NATURALLY WANT TO EXPLAIN THE DETAILS OF THE TECHNOLOGY, BUT, UH, UH, ANDREW HELPED ME TO REALIZE THAT THE POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS ARE NOT BUYING THE TECHNOLOGY, THEY ARE BUYING SOLUTIONS TO THEIR, UH, PIN POINTS.
SO THAT'S, UH, THAT ACTUALLY LEADS TO, UH, UH, A SWITCH OF THE MESSAGES WE WANT TO CONVEY.
AND, UH, INSTEAD OF, UH, HOW DOES THE BIOME WORK, UH, WORK AND IT IS SWITCHED TO HOW, UH, HOW MUCH THE TIME AND COST BIO MA AND SAVE YOU AND, UH, UH, HOW MANY QUEST PROBLEMS IT, UH, THAT WILL GO AWAY BY USING BIO MA.
AND, UH, THAT REFRAME ACTUALLY CHANGED THE, UH, OTHER THINGS WE ARE WRITING, UH, FROM THE WEBSITE TO POST AND ALSO EVEN TO, UH, HOW I WAS INTRODUCING BIOME IN CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS.
SO I KNOW D THANK YOU SO MUCH YEAH.
AND FOR GIVING ME THIS INFORMATION AND ALSO HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF SCORE AS WELL.
SO DALIA, I KNOW YOU ARE BIG ON FOUNDATION, SO TELL ME WHY FOUNDATION IS NECESSARY FOR THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS.
UH, MY TAGLINE AND MY OVERALL BELIEF IS THAT EVERYTHING THAT GROWS HAS ROOTS.
AND SO IF YOU DO NOT SOLIDIFY YOUR FOUNDATION, INEVITABLY YOU'RE GONNA GROW SOMETHING THAT IS NOT GOING IN THE DIRECTION THAT YOU REALLY WANT IT TO, TO GROW.
YOU KNOW, AS SHE REFERENCED, SHE, SHE GOT INTO THE PROCESS AND THEN REALIZED THERE WERE PIECES MISSING AS SHE SOUGHT OUT, UH, MENTORSHIP.
AND SO THERE'S A SIX CORE, UH, PILLARS THAT I HAVE UNDER FOUNDATIONS.
AND THE JOKE I TELL PEOPLE IS YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP IN A PICKLE.
AND SO PICKLE IS P-I-C-C-L-E, WHICH STANDS FOR YOUR PURPOSE, IDENTITY, YOUR COMMUNICATION, YOUR CULTURE, YOUR LEADERSHIP, AND YOUR EXECUTION.
AND SO THOSE WERE ALL THE THINGS THAT IT SEEMS THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO PUT IN PLACE BY WORKING WITH YOU.
FOR ALSO PRESENTING ALL THIS INFORMATION.
WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE AFTER, AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.
THE HOUSTON HISTORY RESEARCH CENTER IS LOCATED IN THE HISTORIC JULIA IEN BUILDING.
OUR MISSION IS TO COLLECT, PRESERVE, AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO HOUSTON AND TEXAS HISTORY IN THE FORM OF PHOTOGRAPHS, MAPS, BOOKS, BUSINESS AND PERSONAL PAPERS AND ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS.

COME CURIOUS, LEAVE INSPIRED HISTORY IS WAITING FOR YOU.
HEY, HOUSTON, PREPARATION LEADS TO CELEBRATION.

IT'S HAPPENING IN ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF INDUSTRIES.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS BEING FORCED DEFRAUDED OR COERCED INTO COMMERCIAL SEX OR LABOR.
IF YOU'RE INVOLVED IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING OR BUYING SEX IN HOUSTON, YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED.
IF YOU SUSPECT SOMEONE IS A VICTIM, CALL 8 8 8 3 7 3 7 8 8 8.
LEARN MORE@WATCHFORTRAFFIC.ORG.
SO YEAH, THE NEXT QUESTION IS, I REMEMBER ONE OF THE METRICS THAT WE WORKED, ONE AREA WAS A SUCCESSFUL METRICS.
SO DO YOU MIND TELLING THE VIEWERS ABOUT THE METRICS AND HOW THAT METRICS DID HELP YOU IN EXECUTING YOUR BUSINESS? YEAH, THAT'S A VERY BIG ONE.
THAT'S THE MOST, UH, ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE THINGS ANDREW PUSHED ME TO DO.
AND BEFORE THE LAUNCH IN PUBLIC, UH, ANDREW HELPED ME TO SET UP TWO SETS OF MATRIX.
ONE IS FOR THE BUSINESS, ONE IS FOR THE PRODUCT, FOR THE BUSINESS THERE, SEVERAL MATRIX.
ONE IS HOW MANY USERS FINISH THE ANALYSIS COMPLETELY AND HOW DOES THE CONVERSION LOOK LIKE BETWEEN THE FREE AND THE PAID USERS AND THE, UH, HOW MANY USERS WILL EVENTUALLY COME BACK AND FOR THE PRODUCT.
UH, ONE IS, UH, HOW, HOW REPRODUCIBLE THE RESULTS WILL BE AND IS THE QUALITY CONTROL REALLY CATCHING REAL PROBLEMS? AND, UH, THAT'S THE WORKFLOW RUN SCIENTIFICALLY DEFENSIBLE AND THE, UH, REPRODUCIBLE.
SO, UH, THOSE IMPORTANT MATRIX DEFINES OUR CRITERIA AND IT MAKES US THAT TO NOT JUST GUESSING ABOUT WHETHER WE ARE READY, BUT TO, UH, WE CAN FOLLOW THOSE FRAMEWORK, UH, BEFORE AND AFTER LUNCH TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE, UH, INSTEAD OF JUST, UH, UH, REACTING TO FEEDBACKS.
THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING THOSE METRICS AND THANK YOU IAN.
SO DARIEN, SO I KNOW FOR SURE THAT ENTREPRENEURS NOWADAYS THEY DO RELY, RELY ON AI MM-HMM
SO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO PUT IN PLACE BEFORE RELYING HEAVILY ON AI.
UH, WELL, AGAIN, IT GOES BACK TO THAT EVERYTHING HAS ROOTS AND THAT IT'S THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING THE FOUNDATION.
IT'S THE IMPORTANCE OF RECOGNIZING, OKAY, SORRY.
OKAY,
UH, IT'S THE IMPORTANCE OF RECOGNIZING THAT, UH, YOU CAN, YOU CAN JUST RESTART FROM THE BEGINNING OF YOUR ANSWER.
UM, AND SCENE, IT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A SOLID FOUNDATION.
YOU KNOW, WHAT SHE ACTUALLY JUST REFERRED TO WAS TALKING ABOUT HAVING METRICS AND RESEARCH, SO SHE COULD HAVE EASILY GIVEN THAT TO AI, BUT IF SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR, WHAT IT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE AND WHAT THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS, AI IS JUST HAS NO PROBLEM JUST GIVING YOU INFORMATION.
SO IT CAN ACTUALLY, A LOT OF TIMES CREATE MORE CONFUSION IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING TO ACTUALLY DIRECT IT.
A LOT OF ENTREPRENEURS, ESPECIALLY NOW, SEEM TO WANT TO USE AI AS THE STARTING POINT WHEN REALLY IT'S AN ACCELERATOR.
IT'S NOT ACTUALLY HERE TO REPLACE THE FOUNDATIONAL WORK OF THE BUSINESS OWNER.
IT'S HERE TO HELP PROPEL THE BUSINESS FORWARD.
BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT SEEDS.
YOU HAVE TO PLANT SEEDS FOR IT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT TO GO SO THAT YOU DON'T END UP SPINNING YOUR WHEELS GOING IN A DIRECTION THAT DOESN'T EVEN ACTUALLY ALIGN WITH WHO YOU ARE AS A BUSINESS OWNER, WHAT YOUR BUSINESS IS AND, AND WHAT YOUR ULTIMATE GOALS ARE.
SO THAT IS KEY FOR AN ENTREPRENEUR TO KNOW WHAT ARE MY ACTUAL GOALS? WHAT IS MY BUSINESS? WHO AM I AS A BUSINESS OWNER? SO THEY CAN FEED THAT TO AI AND ALLOW IT TO THEN HELP THEM DESIGN, BUT IT'S NOT THE JOB OF AI TO CREATE.
[00:25:01]
YOU SO MUCH FOR HIGHLIGHTING THAT AS WELL.AND THEN DALIA AND I ALSO, REGARDING THE METRICS THAT WE DISCUSSED, DO YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO ESTABLISH THAT METRICS BEFORE BUILDING ON THE BUSINESS PLAN? YEAH, I THINK, UH, THE IMPORTANCE IS, UH, WE, WE, SO THE BUSINESS NEED TO BE WELL STRUCTURED AND EACH MILESTONE, IT HAS NEED TO BE MEASURED IN A QUALIFIED WAY.
UH, WITHOUT IT, IT KIND OF LIKE, WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE A WILD GUESS AND WE WILL NOT BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHERE WE ARE AT.
AND, UH, THERE GOT TO BE SOME, UH, CLEAR MATRIX TO MEASURE, UH, WHETHER WE ARE READY AND, UH, UH, WHERE WE, WHETHER WE HAVE A PRODUCT MARKET FIT.
UH, AND UH, I THINK THOSE ARE THE IMPORTANT THINGS, UH, BEHIND THE MATRIX.
UM,
WHAT KIND OF ADVICE WILL YOU GIVE THEM AS IN THE FIRST STEP THEY SHOULD TAKE BEFORE STARTING THAT TYPE OF BUSINESS? OH, WOW.
SO, UH, I WANT TO SAY THAT, UH, YOUR DOMAIN EXPERTISE IS YOUR STRONGEST COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
UH, UNDERSTANDING DEEPLY THE PROBLEM YOU ARE SOLVING, UH, LEADS YOU TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT A GEN GENERIC ENTREPRENEUR SIMPLY CANNOT REPEAT, REPLICATE, AND, UH, TRY TO FIND A MENTOR EARLIER, UH, UH, EVEN BEFORE YOU THINK YOU NEED ONE.
UH, I WAITED LONGER THAN I SHOULD HAVE, BUT, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, SCORE IS FREE.
THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO REACH OUT.
AND THEN ALSO, THANK YOU YUN, ALSO, DALIA ALSO, WHAT IS ONE THING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE ENTREPRENEURS WATCHING TODAY TO REMEMBER THAT THEY NEED TO KEEP LEARNING? THAT, UM, AS I SAID EARLIER, THEY, YOU DON'T WANNA GET CAUGHT IN A PICKLE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO TRY TO BUILD A BUSINESS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT YOUR PURPOSE IS, WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT YOU, YOUR IDENTITY IS AND THE IDENTITY OF YOUR BUSINESS.
YOU DON'T WANT TO TRY TO GROW WITHOUT HAVING SOME SORT OF COMMUNICATION IN PLACE.
SOME SORT OF DEFINITION OF WHAT IS CULTURE FOR MY ORGANIZATION? WHAT DOES LEADERSHIP LOOK LIKE AND HOW DO WE EXECUTE? IF YOU TRY TO GROW WITHOUT THAT, THEN ONCE THE BUSINESS BEGINS TO COME IN, YOU WILL BE OVERWHELMED.
YOU WILL NOT HAVE A FOUNDATION THAT'S MADE TO SUSTAIN THAT TYPE OF GROWTH.
AND A LOT OF TIMES WE THINK THAT WE CAN WORRY ABOUT SOME OF THAT FINANCE, THAT THAT FOUNDATIONAL STUFF ON THE BACK END, IT'LL JUST, IT'LL, IT'LL GROW WITH US, BUT IT DOESN'T, IT, TECHNOLOGY WILL HIGHLIGHT THE WEAKNESSES.
GROWTH WILL HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SOLIDIFIED AND PUT IN PLACE.
SO AGAIN, IF THERE IS ONE MAJOR THING, A GOOD PRODUCT DOES NOT EQUAL BUSINESS GROWTH.
BUSINESS GROWTH COMES FROM YOU ACTUALLY BUILDING A BUSINESS THAT'S MADE TO SUPPORT WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING.
SO, CONTINUE TO GROW, CONTINUE TO LEARN, CONTINUE TO BE MALLEABLE, CONTINUE TO ALLOW YOUR AUDIENCE TO TELL YOU WHAT IT IS THAT THEY NEED AND WALK THAT PATH.
AND I THINK THAT IF YOU FOCUS ON CREATING SOMETHING SOLID, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BUILD AND GROW IN THE DIRECTION THAT YOU WANNA BUILD.
AND THEN THANK YOU YIAN FOR COMING AS WELL AND PROVIDING ALL THIS INFORMATION.
