00:00I would say that the past year, 2024, was a year of recalibration and a year of, let's say,
00:06rationalization for a lot of startups in the Philippines. That is both in valuation but also
00:11the way that they work and the way that they build. So 2025 is really a year where, you know,
00:16after that recalibration, it's about building up to what's more stable, what's more
00:22growth-focused. Go back to fundamentals. Make sure that your unit economics is right.
00:31We cannot depend on, let's say, raising capital, then trying to deploy and just burning and burning
00:36and burning. You have to make sure that when you establish a business, the business actually grows
00:41with profit and good unit economics.
