What's been your biggest highlight?
Every milestone you hit becomes a highlight, whether it's the first grant award, the first investment, the first PO, the first patent grant. The important thing is to stay humble, and keep your foot on the gas. As Chuck D once said “Don’t let a win get to your head…"...
What's been your biggest challenge?
“…or a loss to your heart”. Like the highlights, every day brings a new challenge. But just having the courage to get out there and make it happen is the first and single biggest hurdle.
Advice for entrepreneurs starting out
Get focussed and have a plan. The plan will absolutely change as you sense and respond along the journey, but you need to have a clear reason for everything you do. All resources are limited at this stage, but your time is the most precious one. Spend it wisely.
