The pitch

Over the past week, we've been developing business ideas in my Venture Capital and the Technology Startup class. Today we had actual VCs come in and hear our pitches. Afterwards, our VC told me that he had a very similar idea pitched to him a few months ago, and our pitch was ten times better. He repeated this to the class when asked to give feedback to our group, but added, "Of course, that pitch was really crappy." I'll take it.

I always thought that business in general was just something I could not do. I couldn't imagine myself coming up with an idea, trying to sell it to people, and getting people to believe in it enough to give me money.

Starting with my acceptance to HLS, law school has been a series of realizations that I CAN do things I thought were out of my reach.

Next stop: the WNBA! First I'll use my newfound entrepreneurial skills to invent 14-inch platforms that you can run in.
