Tech Startups - The Ride of Your Life

Abstract:

Starting any company has a lot of ups and downs. There are many days you wish you didn't start it, but there are many days you can't wait to get to work because you are so excited. There are lots of days you laugh and some days you feel like crawling up into a ball. You wish at times you did things differently, and then there are days you think you are making all the right decisions. Self awareness and focus are more than words to me. They are like an emotion and drive my thinking. Every startup is different. In this presentation, I will share my humbling experiences, while outlining the top things I have learned.
