My Brush with Greatness
And it just occurred to me, that most of you (my Atlanta / Savannah / Hilton Head Island / StartupChicks Friends) have no clue that I grew up in the town where Whitney lived after she “made it”.
The Power of Punctuation
I lost my cleaning person today. She quit via text message due to a response I sent her via text. The problem was… she didn’t use punctuation in her original text… so I interpreted her message differently than it was intended. And then, she did the same to my response.
Start with the Why
Last night we had a special StartupChicks event part of our new StartupChick Cameo Series. Sarah Endline founder and CEO of sweetriot chocolates came and told us her story from idea to Whole Foods. It was very inspirational. And there was dark chocolate involved. ;-) Start with the Why. During our StartupChick Accelerator Program, we [...]
Community Catalyst
Today I start my new job as a Community Catalyst at ATDC (http://www.atdc.org). So, what is a Community Catalyst? Guess we’ll figure that out as we go…. but, similar to an Entrepreneur In Residence(EIR), I will be coaching ATDC Companies. In addition, I’ll play a bit of a community activist role: promoting ATDC, its companies [...]

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. The best way to catch me is… actually at an event – before/after. And being an entrepreneur myself, I get it… when you have [...]
