An unexpected health scare motivated me to start my own company, which I eventually sold to Boston Scientific for $275 million.

After college, I worked at a biotech firm but felt the slow career progression pushed me to pursue entrepreneurship, especially after a roommate suggested we start a company together.

After experiencing a health scare in high school, I realized how antiquated women's health care was, which inspired me to start a company focused on women's health.

After selling my company, I was invited to be the first healthcare and biotech partner at Y Combinator, where I could share my story and help other founders.

After selling my first company to Groupon, I wanted to work on something that would inspire me and allow me to create new skills and knowledge. I never want to be 80 years old looking backwards and wondering what if I tried.

I've always wanted to start a company, but I didn't feel confident enough to believe I could do it.

I was always interested in startups and didn't like the idea of working for someone else; I wanted to create cool new inventions and make a lot of money.

After exiting my first company, I spent time working at startups and venture builders to gain experience and learn from faster-growing companies.

After quitting my job at Amazon, I moved to San Francisco where I found a co-founder and began working on various startup ideas without being picky about the market.
