Frederick Daso: When did you first gain interest in being a founder?
Mikhail Rozhin: I always wanted to challenge myself as a business owner, entrepreneur, being ultimately responsible for the team, and outcomes. I set particular accomplishments that I need to achieve before taking the risk of leaving a full-time job and, by the time I talked to Sergey and Dmitry about RPA, I was already hunting for a startup opportunity.
