As a startup that deals with corporate relationships, Dias notes how building new relationships and acquiring new contracts is a definite challenge. To aspiring entrepreneurs, Dias says that the key is finding an endeavor they are passionate about, "Find something that keeps you up tat night. Find something you want to wake up for at four in the morning. Find something that motivates you to work each day and that, I think, will keep you in the long run."
