I was at a recent Ellevate Network event featuring a pretty prominent entrepreneur who runs a VC-funded startup that’s gaining some real traction. In other words, she’s "living the dream." Someone in the audience asked her whether it was fun to be an entrepreneur.
She paused before answering.
"No. Not really."
I can relate. In addition to owning the Ellevate Network, I’ve recently announced a Series A raise for a new business, Ellevest, a digital investment platform for women. I'm striking out on that venture after a career at big companies, and not a handful of days goes by that someone doesn’t ask me, "Aren’t you having so much fun?"
