What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?

Variability of quality of management teams and employees at different startups.

I love the optimism and sharing of important lessons learned among the startup community.

Fail fast. Be pragmatic about combining "lean startup" principles with established traditional business and organizational management.
