CAROLINE: Hi, welcome to Growth Marketing Chat. Today I'm here with Mohamed Hanini. Mohamed is the founder and CEO of Koios Intelligence, and we're really excited to have him here today because he's building a really amazing product for insurance. Mohamed, thank you so much for being with us today.
MOHAMED: Yeah. Thank you, Caroline, fo your new zealand number for whatsapp invite, a pleasure to meet you and share with you our company, vision and advancements since we started.
CAROLINE: Awesome. So my favorite question to ask founders is, like how did you become an entrepreneur? What made you decide to like, take the leap and start your own company?
MOHAMED: Yeah, well, very good question. Long story short, it was clear for me that one day I will start a company and it's been, I don't know, since my young age. And I was really hesitating about when I should start it. And, you know, I will talk a lot about running because I'm a runner and you know, I'm gonna make it, maybe bring a little, I mean, little story, I started running... like maybe 15 years ago. I spent maybe seven years running by myself. No structure. Just exploring, you know, like just exploring many, many things. And, well, randomly one of my friends got injured and asked people on Facebook to get her beep, her ticket. And, I asked myself if I should go for a house marathon, and then I decided to go and... well, in 2012, I started my first half marathon and it went very well. So, at the end of the day, what I wanted to say is that really believe in training, and you could start very young, but you will make many mistakes, and especially in the tech environment and in our field, like an insurance field, and the financial services field.
I was always training myself to how can I say? Master enough, the financial services and the insurance and the insurance field as well. However, I needed also to have a kind of maturity in computer science. So, well, five years ago I felt enough ready and mature in those fields to start the company. And I said, I'm enough trained to succeed. And it was a little bit my story. So, I worked in the industry until 2012, while at PricewaterhouseCoopers , also in a pension fund as a quant. And I took, well, I was... I was comfortable in computer science, but not enough mature. And so I came back to kind of do a thesis, and like generating a random variable. And I learned a lot about technology, about computer science.
