I think the general overhead of a company (payroll, regulatory compliance) can be frustrating. But the reward - seeing a fast growth product that impacts hundreds of thousands of people is one of the most rewarding things that I have experienced.

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs make? Not realizing how high the bar is for Series A and Series B funding.

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

1. Sales matter just as much as product.
