I think you need to have a very strong angel community that is committed to mentoring up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful?

I am as committed to fighting fiercely for equality as I am committed to disrupting the notion that there is an essential feminism.

I'm standing up for the right of self-determination. I'm standing up for our territory. I'm standing up for our people. I'm standing up for international law.
