The end of the year and the beginning of a new one is a good time to reflect on the achievements achieved. The constant evolution that we have experienced month after month has taken us to the fifth year of our adventure, which began in November 2018.

In the world of startups and technology companies, global growth and construction typically takes 10 to 12 years, and we are now halfway through that journey. We have jointly overcome more than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is relevant to note that approximately 50% of companies do not manage to reach five years of operation. We have overcome these external challenges affecting the world, which is cause for celebration.

Although funding globally, especially in the United States and Silicon Valley, has decreased significantly, and layoff and unemployment rates have seen an exponential increase in recent months, it is crucial to reflect on our achievements in 2023.

The eight projects that we currently operate and manage are fundamental to our present and future growth. In September 2023, we expanded our presence and acquisition of leads and customers to 37 markets in the tools niche. Recently, we branded our new software, "Lavteg", which centralizes, manages and scales the entire company, business units and projects. In addition, we have experienced a growth of 115% in the footwear sector and 70% in the tools sector compared to 2022. We maintained solid results in the auto parts niche, and we continue to develop and work in the cosmetics, gifts niches , art/decoration and software by 2024.

If we stop to reflect, the year 2023 has been positive despite the challenges. Let us continue to pursue our passion at Lavoig.net: creating new technologies and new possibilities that benefit and help millions of people around the world, facilitating the creation, management and scalability of online products and services, as well as making their lives more fulfilling. Let's enjoy what we do every day to multiply our results x10 in 2024.

In the face of constant changes and evolution in technology, artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning and the metaverse, let us continue to adapt our businesses, participate and improve in these aspects to reach the next level.

I am firmly convinced that in 2024 we will make great progress. Our goal must be to grow every day in all our projects in current markets, adding thousands until we reach millions of clients and users, growing the different areas through automation and artificial intelligence to improve productivity and efficiency, and continuing to constantly improve our technological component. as an information technology and software company. Let's continue to lead and maintain strong communication with our teams, colleagues, business partners, suppliers and customers, encouraging teamwork and ensuring we all participate in the events and challenges we will face.

I wish you a prosperous new year 2024 in health, professional, economic, family and personal.

Let's go for much more with a strong, positive and persistent mentality!
