He used to be one of those who needed to exchange currency on a monthly basis. He is an experienced software engineer from Spain but moved to Peru to be with Claudia Quintanilla, our COO and Co-founder. He was working for a company from abroad and needed to turn his USD into Peruvian Soles every month.\u00a0 He had to go to the bank branch and withdraw the USD from his bank account, then, go out to the street with the cash in hand and exchange the USD to Soles through a person (who basically was an informal FX broker), with all the risks that kind of transaction implies. Finally, he had to go back to the bank with the Soles and deposit them into his Soles bank account. All, because the bank\u2019s exchange rate was not the best. One day, based on his software engineer background, he started to think: \u201cthere\u2019s got to be a better way to do this by incorporating technology into the process\u201d.

In our business model, the user has to transfer the funds to our account first. That was a huge step that we eventually were able to solve. Additionally, in a country like Peru, access to sources of capital is very limited, so we had to grow based on bootstrapping since year 1. In addition, the availability to engage qualified personnel to join an early-stage startup is always hard.
