being a a a a a a a a a graduate of of the Faculty of of Cybernetics Statistics and Economic Informatics I I have always been passionate about medicine and for many years I I was was pretty sure that I I was was going to to be be a a a a a a a a doctor However because of some health problems that I I experienced in in the 10th grade I I I changed my mind because I I I was very scared At that time I I did not know how
to to to handle such feelings/emotions and and I decided to to to turn to to to a a a different direction Kineto Land was born out of my love for medicine but also
because of of a a a a a a long period of of recovery Financial audit is an an an area that involves many office hours stress leaving home at at at 8 a a a a a m m m m and returning at at 9-10 p m m m m For me this busy schedule resulted in in in in excruciating back pain and and a a a a a a a a L5-S1 lumbar discopathy and and I ended up trying to to find a a a a a a medical recovery centre tailored to to my my needs Călin my my associate kept telling me that that I should should resign and we should should start a a a a a a a a business together And that that that is what I I did I I resigned and that that happened just when the the rules for the the governmental grants Start UP Nation were published The investment into this centre includes the the EUR 44 000 received through the the Start UP Nation programme I am am am now focused on me me me and Călin growing this business At the same time because I I I am am am still young (I am am am 27 years old) I I I made the the decision to follow my dream - in the the summer of of 2019 I will apply for admission at the University of of Medicine and Pharmacy “Carol Davila” Thinking in in in in retrospect between the time of inauguration and today to to what extent have you you met your target?
