The Most Difficult CEO Skill
Free Advice
Just had a quick chat with a StartupChick and, as usual, I was giving advice. My advice was diametrically opposed from advice that she is getting from another Advisor.

StartupRiot 2011 – Still Perfecting the Pitch
Yesterday I was one of 50 presenters to pitch their companies at StartupRiot 2011. I was blessed to tie for 2nd place (again) with my startup Nexpense. I was blessed for many reasons…. 1.) Sanjay & the StartupRiot team allowed me to pitch again. Why? I’m not entirely certain; but, instead of a pitch video, [...]
Office Hours with Jen
Hi! I've decided to try something NEW! So many women reach out to me via email and through the site seeking advice, connections, etc. that I frankly have difficulty keeping up.

Greetings from the Valley
Hi… i'm sitting in a Peet's Coffee in Belmont, CA waiting for my meeting with a female VC. I'm totally exhausted, a little disappointed and exhilirated at the same time. I'm still sort-of on east coast time. So, technically I went to bed at 3am, and woke up at 7:30am (4:30 here). Couldn't sleep. It's [...]
Calling on my Inner Sasha Fierce
** This post was written 13 hours before StartupRiot. Tomorrow I am pitching at Women 2.0, in San Francisco. I've come a LONG way since StartupRiot, and my nerves are not quite as bad as the night before Riot. But, I thought it was worth a repost. ** In about 13 hours I will [...]
