Some investors may grumble about entrepreneurs wanting 'unicorn valuations.' But let's be honest: most investors want them, too, and are supporting the massive capitalization of these companies.
I really have become very interested at working with and helping entrepreneurs at the early stages of their growth.
I think, from a woman's perspective, that my interest as an investor and the way that I relate to entrepreneurs is a little bit different.
Having been a venture-backed CEO, and having an established background in working with consumer-focused companies, I've built a strong network of entrepreneurs and people who can help startups.
When I was a kid, I thought I would be an entrepreneur and maybe at some point go into law school.
High-speed Internet access, or broadband, is giving entrepreneurs anywhere an unprecedented chance to disrupt entire industries and transform our country.
My view is that the Internet should be run by engineers and entrepreneurs, not lawyers and bureaucrats.
Entrepreneurs are constantly developing new technologies and services. But too often, they're unable to bring them quickly to market for consumers because regulatory inertia stands in the way. Unfortunately, the FCC can suffer from this government-wide problem.
Bottom line: government shouldn't be a bottleneck for entrepreneurs looking to design a better mousetrap.
You either go through your life working for someone and getting a paycheck - and it can be a damn good paycheck, and I am not complaining as someone who has always been a salaried employee - or you can go out and become an entrepreneur.
