The virtual reality app store

"It's not a sprint, it's a marathon" (be passionate and have stamina)

Hi. Thank you very much for being here with us.
Thank you for having me.
Appreciate you for coming and spending time and speaking. Could you introduce yourself and tell us what you do?
Absolutely. My name is Rika Steiber. I'm the president of Viveport, which is the virtual reality app Store. And we're here to basically meet entrepreneurs and developers who want to create great virtual reality experiences. And it's interesting just being here 10 minutes. I think I've been approached by at least five of them. They're from Russia and they're from Israel, so they're all over. So it's very exciting.
Fantastic. If you were to give one piece of advice to young entrepreneurs, what would that be?
So I think as an entrepreneur, you have to realize that it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. And building a business always takes a long time. So I think you need to be very passionate. I think you need to have stamina in order to be able to build a business.
How did you become an entrepreneur?
I started my first company when I was 16 doing computer programming, and I've been going on since then. I'm now 26.
Wow. Well, I hope you continue. We definitely need you to stay with us, and I hope you'll come here next year. Again, thank you. Thank you.
Appreciate it.
