Pillar VC’s Post

The Pathways to Tech Recap: The Pathways to Tech event was truly an insightful event, as we had the pleasure to meet industry leaders and CEOs of successful startups and have them share their journey with us. A huge thank you to these incredible speakers for taking the time out of their day to connect with us and share their journey with us. • Dustin Beadle - Director at Lattice, Former Director at AMD • Logan Havern - CEO of DataLogz • Nabeel Alamgir - CEO of Lunch Box • Shariar Kabir and Miguel Acero - CEO and CTO of Ruby YC23 I had a longer post but LinkedIn won't let me submit it as it exceeds their character limit. So here's one key takeaway that summarizes the event from my perspective: One common theme I noticed among the speakers is how they spoke about failure and their experience with failure. Every single one of them has encountered failure and faced rejection and faced obstacles. What separates them from the rest is how they reacted to their failure and rejections. They were persistent on their journey and kept trying with different approaches. All it took them was one “yes”. So as they said, embrace failure, learn from your failures and grow from your failures.
