If you`re an entrepreneur or corporate innovator, why?

The thrill of creating an incredible solution to someone's intense problem

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

Exhilarating to see positive impact of my ventures on those who most need change. Frustrating and humbling to realize there isn't really a proven formula for start-up success. That even great ideas and products don't always get adopted or see success. But working 24/7 to create that "magic" formula for success over and over again has its own appeal for entrepreneurs like me.

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

#1 Mistake - Underestimating - from how much to raise to how long something will take. #2 Mistake - Building a "nice to have" and not a "painkiller". Insufficient customer research coupled with subjectivity and a dollop of short sightedness. But then again some great companies have emerged from just such a birthing ground... #3 Mistake - Not course correcting fast enough.

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

1. Get out and talk to customers BEFORE you build

2. Build smart, high integrity teams

3. Where's the $$? Revenue is a great savior
