Vator’s community is the home to entrepreneurs who embrace their passion and follow their dreams. Our newly-designed profiles allow members to express themselves by sharing their interests, lessons learned, as well as bits and pieces of their roller-coaster journey.
These profiles give entrepreneurs an opportunity to showcase themselves and tell their story. So if you are an entrepreneur, a serial entrepreneur, or even an aspiring entrepreneur, we’d like to hear from you.

What are the top three lessons you’ve learned as an entrepreneur?
- You never know. You never know who can help, who wants to help. You never know who has info/advice/money/contacts. Always put yourself and your company out there.
- You’re going to fail. A lot. And be frustrated, and have unforeseen problems. Only thing you can do is expect them and roll with them with a smile.
- The vision can change. Know what you are NOT, and be able to sacrifice unnecessary parts of the original vision in order to have a successful product, not a perfect one.
