Tell us about yourself

This is a personal story. I (Vitali) was diagnosed with ADHD and autism at the age of 6, so I have first-hand experience knowing how to help children with ADHD and autism overcome difficulties and live a better life. It motivates us each day to do what we do.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Successful cases with kids. Especially with autistic kids.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

  1. Fundraising. MedTech/Health tech is a long-run story. And a lot of investors fear it.
  2. To convince parents to try an alternative. Not to use drugs.
  3. External factors. Repressions in Belarus, War in Ukraine. We have a team in Eastern Europe, and it affects us a lot.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Think first. It's hard. Extremely hard. "Starting a company is like eating a glass and staring into the abyss." (c)
  2. If you decide to move, move.
  3. Don't give up ....until the universe says it to you.
