Women in entrepreneurship. Drive.
One of the most random but fortunate connections I have ever made is with a woman named Caroline. I was at a summer cook-out with one of my new neighbors at the time, a man named Nick who would go on to become a good friend of mine and the founder of their start-up, VirtualU. …
