Wise advice by Heidi Roizen. "Entrepreneurs are always super optimistic. If they weren't they wouldn't be entrepreneurs".
💮Who is she ? I'm a venture capitalist, corporate director, Stanford lecturer, recovering entrepreneur and Mom.I co-founded software company T/Maker and served as its CEO for over a decade until its acquisition by Deluxe Corporation.
I am also currently a corporate director for public company DMGT (LSE:DMGT) and private companies Zoox, Planet, Memphis Meats and Polarr. I co-lead the Threshold Venture Fellows program in the engineering department at Stanford University (where I also earned my undergrad and MBA degrees) and serve on the Advisory Council of Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. I'm a mom to two great kids and two needy rescue dogs. I'm grateful to be part of the crazy Silicon Valley ecosystem and my motto is "Life is Good (or if it isn't, then change things until it is.)"
