Entrepreneur

Companies I work or worked for:
If you're an entrepreneur or corporate innovator, why?

It feeds my soul...

My favorite startups:

Waze, 5Min

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

Frustrating - the knowledge that I can't stop "to rest a bit" because at that moment I have moved backward...

Rewarding - I always find myself on a new and exciting road...

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs/innovators make?

Call the investors for "Dinner" before the "Meal" is ready.

What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?

1. Be able to explain yourself, what is your next step, and why.
2. Don't try to SPRINT with people who want to RUN, don't try to RUN with people who want to WALK, don't try to WALK with people who want to SIT....
3. I guess that almost every Start-up is novel and exciting, so it is not "What" you are doing (because we agreed its "cool"), it is more "How" you do it.
