A note from Andy Lim

A journey of building, learning, and growing.

I founded Lavu, a point-of-sale company that grew to serve merchants around the world. I know the exhilaration of building something from nothing.

I also founded Addmi, where ambition and setbacks brought some of the hardest lessons of my life.

I didn't have the mentors I needed along the way. Now I want to share what I've learned so others can build wisely, avoid needless suffering, and still find joy in this extraordinary human experience.

Not because I have all the answers. Because I've lived the questions.

Lead. Inspire. Mentor.

Founder lessons

Lessons from the journey.

Skills matter, but character matters more. Check references, watch behavior, set clear expectations, and never ignore persistent warning signs.
Be kind and generous without being naive. Keep agreements clear, review numbers, verify work, and protect the people depending on your company.
A task needs an owner, a deadline, a definition of done, and a follow-up. Delegation without accountability isn't freedom — it's hidden risk.
Your business is one part of your life, not your entire identity. Make space for loved ones, stillness, health, gratitude, and meaningful relationships.
Scaling magnifies both strengths and weaknesses. Build financial discipline, operational clarity, and resilient systems before they become urgent.
The most valuable part of a hard lesson may be what it lets you teach another person. Share the scars, not just the successes.
“Success is not only what you build. It's who you become — and how you treat people along the way.”
