"I think learning to manage larger teams by delegating is not easy for first-time founders or managers. Initially, you try to do everything, but then you realize you can't and need a good second-in-command to let them express themselves and figure things out on their own. As a founder, you should guide them. Founder communities in the region have evolved a lot, and I'm part of Southeast Asia Founders, where we come together to discuss the problems we face, almost like a focus group or cell group. This helps us figure things out together because we don't have all the answers, which is natural for any new and young founder." - Kenneth Lou
"When we were searching for problems to solve, we spoke to an investor who shared a lot about the health space. It was daunting because I had zero experience in the space, but we realized there are 8 billion people in the world who are aging, and that's a huge market. Everyone dies one day. This relates back to what I learned during that period of Vipassana meditation. How do we ensure that the idea of health spending, which is the years free from disease, is right?" - Kenneth Lou
"There's an interesting survey that Peter Attia, a famous longevity doctor in the US, did. He asked people if they wanted to live a longer life. Most people said they wouldn't be interested, but when asked if they wanted to see their great-grandchildren or play a game of soccer with them, most people said yes. It's about phrasing it as experiences that they can have later in life, not just about the quantity of life." - Kenneth Lou
