When I was coming up as an entrepreneur, I had to fight for everything I got, and there was no clear roadmap of how to be successful.

My parents were entrepreneurs. I grew up believing in the power of innovation.

I realized that, after tasting entrepreneurship, I had become unfit for the corporate world. There was no turning back. The only regret I had was having wasted my life in the corporate world for so long.

I've been doing a hybrid of investing and entrepreneurship, which I think initially I wasn't set out to do. But I realized it fit my personality.

Believe it or not, the first spark for everything I've done today came down to me meeting one person in college who changed my life. A student named Anthony Adams who lived across the hall from me in our freshman dorm showed me what it meant to be an 'entrepreneur' when I saw him launch his own start-up company.

I always wanted to do creative things, but I was really interested in entrepreneurship. My family comes from a very entrepreneurial culture, so business was always something I was interested in.

I realised I had to work in something creative, but with a business and global element. And that I had to do it while I was still young and had an appetite for risk.
