  • Core Values: The company's core values, especially "follow through," play a critical role in building trust with partners and ensuring operational excellence.
  • Long-Term Vision: SentiLink aims to be the default solution for identity verification, similar to how CRMs are used in sales, addressing the fundamental question of "Who are you?"
