Will your entrepreneurial career rely on you blazing a new path or partnering with incumbents?

I’m going to lead the team as far as we can go

I’m open to partnering, but only late in the life of the startup

We’re going to need a lot of help, even at the beginning and partnering is necessary

Are you interested in building a global powerhouse of a company over a long period of time, or flipping your idea for a large windfall to turbocharge a current market?

I like founding and would rather found a new company than stay for 10 years

I want to help build a company that will exit or IPO, but then I want to do that again

I want to build the company that I can retire with

My idea of fun is…

Anything outdoors (hiking, biking, camping, skiing, surfing)

Checking out new and unique shops and exploring new places

Spending time at home watching Netflix, reading, chatting with friends

When looking for a workplace, I’d prefer to wear…

Whatever is most comfortable, including PJs if I so choose

The part of my closet that makes me feel strong, powerful, and ready to take on other CEOs

Something that I could relax at home in just as easily as I could to a meeting with a client
