Tell us about your company
Mahoor: Dentcense is revolutionary dentistry robotic system that enables dentist to do treatment and practice remotely from anywhere at any time to make dental services, more precise, safer and accessible to almost everyone on the planet.
What made you become an entrepreneur?
Mahoor: From the Dentcense perspective, as my background is in dentistry, I always wanted to restore new smiles and bring beautiful smiles to everyone's faces. Dentcense is the solution to give a beautiful smile to almost everyone on this planet through its accessibility, safety, and precision.
From a personal perspective, I always have many ideas in mind and would like to bring all of them to life one by one. Life is short and time flies, so entrepreneurship was the key for me to bring teams, expertise, and passionate people with good hearts and spirits together to transform ideas into reality.
What is the most challenging part of running your own startup?
Mahoor: If you asked me this question last year, I would just say that the financial aspect and securing the resources needed to develop and bring ideas to reality are the biggest challenges, however that's right, it's a real challenge, I now have more challenges to find motivated people, with a good heart and spirit, experts, and people who love their job, not just for financial perspective. Doing the work in a way that they solve valuable problems that affect the quality of life of all humans has become my recent challenge in identifying them.
What is the biggest challenge you have faced when looking for funding?
Mahoor: The biggest challenge I have faced when looking for funding is convincing investors of the viability of something that is entirely new and has never been in the market before. Presenting a concept that is novel and untested can be difficult to visualize and persuade others of its potential success.
What is the most rewarding aspect of entrepreneurship?
Mahoor: The most rewarding aspect of entrepreneurship in my opinion is the ability to bring your ideas to life and make a meaningful impact on the world. Building something from scratch, seeing it grow, and witnessing the positive change it brings to people's lives is incredibly fulfilling. Additionally, the autonomy and freedom that comes with entrepreneurship allow for personal and professional growth, as well as the opportunity to shape your own destiny.
