Entrepreneurship is one of a few topics that I find to be extremely interesting and exciting. And I have had the privilege of spending much of my career in entrepreneurial settings.
Some people spend their careers employed by large corporate, government or nonprofit organizations, and find it to be very satisfying and rewarding. Others of us have spent much of our working lives in small organizations and sometimes in startups, and we find it thrilling and exciting.
Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It is extremely rewarding to see an idea in one's head or written in a business plan become reality. It is also terrifying and depressing to skip paycheck after paycheck so the organization hopefully will survive.
I have had the opportunity to work in a large bureaucratic organizations and in entrepreneurial organizations. I have had the thrill of seeing an idea become reality and I have skipped paycheck after paycheck--and wondered if I would survive. In addition, I have had the privilege of working with others on this exciting journey as a principal in a seed investment firm.

Please join me in exploring a topic that I find fascinating and that that today is gaining many reluctant participants
