Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from solving real problems that people and pets face daily. I’m driven by purpose-led innovators who create products that improve quality of life at scale. Building Thizui™ was inspired by seeing how often dogs suffer from dehydration during walks, travel, and heat exposure. My motivation is creating meaningful solutions that protect wellness, empower owners, and set new standards in everyday care.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by focusing on impact over hype. Every time I see a dog struggling in heat or owners carrying multiple items on walks, I’m reminded why Thizui™ matters. I stay disciplined through structure, faith, and daily execution breaking big goals into measurable actions. Progress, customer feedback, and the vision of scaling wellness solutions globally keep me moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the funding to accelerate Thizui™ into wider market adoption. Specifically, I’d allocate it toward manufacturing scale-up, field testing, and targeted marketing to pet owners and retailers. The goal is to expand distribution while continuing product refinement based on real world feedback. This investment would directly support bringing a practical hydration solution to more dogs nationwide.
