Birthing is a usually associated with pain and suffering, not to mention the almost unbearable expectancy period. In the case of Andrepreneur, birthing was protracted by circumstances best described in lump as exciting, not exactly the antonym of pain/suffering. 

 Andrepreneur is actually a step in the general direction of being AWAY from pain and suffering: mentally, emotionally and financially. It was born of a very practical realization by its CA (Chief Andrepreneur) - Andre Seno Urbina, that when projects are embarked on, in a state of faith, miracles happen.

 Flashbacks: 

 2006.  Andrepreneur established an art brokerage group, with a major art collector as CEO. He handled the very enterprising acquisition of a salon in Makati in exchange for some art pieces. He launched an art website. He handled the launching of another art and antiques gallery while pondering on the best way to help visual artists.

 2007. Andrepreneur was in a state of agony over going back to a foreign land as an OFW, a prospect unthinkable, in as much as he believed that prosperity is not a matter of geography. This writer found him waiting at tables at the back of the Mall of Asia, while doing the brain job of efficiently running the establishment. 

 2008. Shifty start-ups on credit coops for tricycle drivers in his locality, while partnering with some hot shot real estate developers. 

 2009 -13. Family time and some very down-to-earth lessons in financial management, investments and banking from a hedge fund group. 

 2014. Andrepreneur is born. And about time, at that!
