How and when did the possibility of creating the company arise?
In 2007, while watching a football match, I wanted to have a platform that would allow me to know the history and statistics of all the teams, managers, players and referees. Since I didn't have the necessary resources at the time, when I finished my degree in Systems, I got together with my thesis partners (one is my current partner) and another friend to see if they were interested in creating a software company and starting this project. They thought it was an interesting idea and so began what is now Mythology Labs.
What are the firm's main objectives?
Among the main objectives of Mythology Labs is to help entrepreneurs and business people who are looking for a technology partner to carry out their projects; to build new business opportunities both locally and internationally; and finally, to consolidate and position itself in the market as a quality software company that can be exported to the region and the world.
What are the things that distinguish the company within the industry?
Mythology Labs emphasises the quality of our products and ensuring that the client is satisfied with our work. At the same time, we are very concerned about after-sales, i.e., giving the client the peace of mind that once the project is finished we will continue to be available, either through a monthly maintenance plan or in case they need to make any adjustments or add any new functionality.
What services are offered?
We mainly offer the development of customised software solutions for each client. We are dedicated to the development of institutional websites, web platforms with an administrator system for internal use, maintenance and development of new functionalities, both of our solutions and of existing products, and we also offer the management of the project infrastructure.
With the arrival of the pandemic last year, did you have to modify aspects of the firm's development?
The only major change we had to implement was having to work 100% remotely. Although we have an office where any of the team can go if they need a space to work, since the covid-19 cases started to increase we are all teleworking, trying to have daily virtual meetings and active communication with the whole team so that the human touch is not lost.
What is the ABC or the essential points of the company to work on and how is the work done?
Since our focus is to meet our clients' expectations to the maximum, we try to maintain an active communication with them that allows them to see how their projects are growing and evolving, for which we are constantly learning about cutting-edge technologies that allow us to bring these ideas and projects to fruition.
How long have you been a member of AJE and what were your reasons for joining?
I joined AJE in 2019 because I found it interesting to be part of a community of entrepreneurs in which we are all pulling forward so that there are more and more young entrepreneurs and business people and where I could contribute my bit with both my personal and professional experiences.
How has AJE collaborated in the development of the project?
AJE opened the doors for me to be able to participate in many events and talks, to learn how to interact with other people and to generate some business opportunities. It also gave me the opportunity to participate in a very enriching course offered by the ORT University.
What is it like to be an entrepreneur in Uruguay? What are the advantages and disadvantages of entrepreneurship?
Like everything else in the world, being an entrepreneur is a task that has its good and bad sides. The negative things are mainly the doubts generated by learning as we go along without knowing what we are doing and the insecurity, so to speak, of perhaps not having a salary of our own for a while. We also have to fight against negative and pessimistic opinions that, suddenly, if at that moment the person or the project is not going through a good moment, can become critical. On the other hand, the good thing is the daily challenges of knowing that the company or the project is our own and that we are the only ones responsible for making the company grow. It is also very important to have the possibility to take a chance on what one wants and dreams of, and that if it doesn't work out, one can shuffle the cards and start again.
