In order to fund software, product development, office space and marketing, they needed capital. Also finding the right talent to run the firm was a major challenge. Laying out a hiring strategy early on was an obstacle they had to overcome. However, they encountered major problem while scaling up the business. Competitions were identified and tackled for the survival of business in the market.
