"I realized how much the fear we feel about an idea or move in entrepreneurship is the first step towards success in it. There's a tendency to keep away from fear, but it actually shows progress and growth, and helps you realize that you're going in the right direction.

"My parents come from high tech. My mother is an entrepreneur who's working on a new venture that hasn't reached the market yet, and my father is CFO in a bio-medical company. They are my mentors. I learn from my father about things like negotiating, analytical thinking, and analytic and strategic capabilities. From my mother I take incorrigible optimism, belief in myself and in my ability and intuition, and original and creative thinking. This combination helps me deal with and leverage many situations in my life."

The majority opinion isn't always right, even if is stated more assertively. It's important to give my slant on things, even if it is unconventional."
