Caroline says "one of the most valuable lessons for me is getting the right people in the team — great management team, great leadership team who's got experience in doing whether it's payments or b to B sales." The second lesson is to "just go with it," because "we pivoted a couple of times" and "it's not like you will find the right problem right away." She ties it to staying adaptive: "as you can see AI is everything now, so you have to be super focusing on how the market is reacting and how it can fly into your business use case."
