Q: Tell us briefly about the topic you would like to present A: I was inspired by Ben Horowitz's blog post discussing startup CEOs and managing their own psychology. We all know 9 out of 10 startups fail, but we rarely hear about failure and what happens to the founders. Getting back on the horse is very difficult especially after losing several million dollars of someone else's money. Even with a stellar resume and the best preparation, not everyone will build a Facebook. How do you take a risk after falling so hard? How do you jump back into the game when the entrepreneurial window closes and "adult" life begins?
