What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?
Frustrating: People that think they know more about this business than I do after spending five minutes thinking about it. Rewarding: that ah-hah moment when someone sees the technology work for the first time and suddenly "gets" it.
What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs make?
The No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs make is not doing what they can with what they have, right now.
What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?
Never hold a business meeting in a restaurant (you'll end up paying). Figure out who's buying and who's selling before going into a meeting. Just keep going--never give up.
Why am I still doing this?
It's the only thing that has kept me completely engrossed--I've never once been bored with this company.
