I wouldn’t say I have one mentor. I have different role models in my life. My father has been a good role model, as a business oriented physician—practicing good medicine and running a solid business. I find role models in a lot of places. For example, Harvard has outreach programs to women alumni who are in career transition. When I went to my 15-year business school reunion, I enrolled in the Charting Your Course program where I spent 2 days with 48 women, and they had good role models there; some were entrepreneurs. I have kept in touch with some women on those panels and ask them questions on occasion even now. That has been very helpful. Another good role model is my partner in life. As I previously mentioned, he’s an entrepreneur too. Even though I’m self-funding my own business and he has had venture capital for his, there are a lot of other issues around entrepreneurship that are similar between his business and mine. I’ve learned a lot just by watching him go through his experiences.
