Maykow: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. Entrepreneurship is one of the most impactful ways to reduce income inequality. People with no access to better-paid jobs for several reasons, e.g., prejudice or social exclusion, decide to start a company as a way of living. In order to be successful at entrepreneurship, finance control is one of the most important elements to guarantee the success of a business. So, my company simplifies the finance control using artificial intelligence and simple text messages on WhatsApp, such as “paid 100 products,” “sold 200 cash,” or “profit”, providing graphics and analysis to those entrepreneurs.
