This forum is for high-tech entrepreneurs to hear about successes and failures from founders and CEOs of companies that have led successful liquidity events (M&A or IPO). These "fearless leaders" will be interviewed about their experience of founding and/or leading successful and failed companies including strategy, execution, their inner drive, growing pains, and learned lessons; very much like Inside The Actor's Studio as seen on Bravo TV where major featured actors discuss their craft and share the secrets of their success.
The purpose of this forum is to boost the morale of today’s entrepreneurs, to relieve their feeling of isolation, to help them endure and build profitable companies, and ultimately take part in stimulating the economy.
