He aims to utilize maximum tech and is a tech savvy person. Not only this he also understands that Esports is a massive industry and many participants we get to see are from Asia but there are also many who are good players but unaware how to pursue Esports as a career or how to take part in this and even compete. Berto aims to educate them and provide them with sufficient knowledge to be able to pursue these learnings further.
“At the very moment when people underestimate you is when you can make a breakthrough,” and so is the story of Berto Boligan who was born to a single mother in 1984. He is also a software developer and not to mention a social media influencer. Like many people, he had nothing in the start and as he had seen his mother struggle to provide for them throughout the years, he knew he had to take matters into his own hands and work hard to get out of that lifestyle.
He believes that it was his faith in God that helped him get where he is now. By helping and supporting people that are not privileged enough he believes he is paying back for all the blessings God has bestowed upon him.
As many successful people go through failures upon failures to finally reach their dreams, Berto is no exception. He had to go through many setbacks including being fired out of the blue, failing many business endeavors but now he is finally reaching his goals. This is exactly what he aims to teach others scared of failure to work hard and be consistent and it will surely pay off one day.
He owns multiple software companies and was able to design a software that can help people with issues regarding mortgaging in a proper DIY manner. His company is also busy building an app which can guide people to view social media in a positive light. He thinks that the difference between his company and others is that he works on changing the lives of his customers in a positive way using technology.
He has an edge considering that he can fund his foundation through his business. Some important pointers he wants young entrepreneurs to see before judging where they stand is to not ask family and friends for opinions but define their limitations themselves because at the end of the day you are who you believe to be not what others think.
