Noah Abelson

I led US sales from $0 to over $3.1M in Q3 for AdParlor which was one of the original Facebook advertising companies. I also started and ran a business focused on bringing a rare African fruit to the US until the FDA shut us down two years later.

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

I want to invent something cool.

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

The same answer for both: the unknowns.

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

Trying to take on every task yourself and not surround yourself with people who are more competent than you in areas that are not your strength.

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

1. While it is fantastic to listen to the success stories it is equally just as important to listen to those of failure.
2. Get the right people on the bus and then figure out where they sit instead of trying to put the right people in the right seats.
3. Fail quickly to get to the next step.
