Harvard HBS students hosted Women In VC Podcast:

“I would describe myself as a sponge, continuously absorbing signals, information, and resources. Then I organize and process them to help others. We only live once, so I hope to have an impactful life.”

“What do you do after 5 pm? I like that question because I believe it is the things you do after your “work day” that shapes your life and future.”

“Entrepreneurship is a long and draining process. You have to be passionate enough to do it for 8 to 10 years. The success of a company is often not because they have the best tech skill or education background. It's the perseverance to adapt and continuously provide value for your customers.”

“My advice for kids? Tell stories. Talk about yourself, because it helps you reflect. Share about your surroundings, because it keeps your observant. Express your dreams and imaginations, because it is the first step in making it a reality.”
